[Verse 1: Andrew Bird]
You've been away for such a long, long time
Gone from the break yard, gone from the mind
All these unfamiliar places used to find your measured paces
Now it's all arriving, now it's all just fine
[Coro 1]
I thought perhaps we could sit down to tea
Nein, was the cold reply of Frau ecstasy
[Verso 2]
Sitting on a mossy stump, among all the bottles drunk
Breathe cold against the air
Oh, I smell your ragweed hair, smoked to the bone
Soaked to the bone, I'm all alone, poor me
[Coro 2]
I thought perhaps we could sit down to tea
Nein, was the cool response of Frau ecstasy
[Conclusi�n] (x2)
Hey, who's that old man in the overalls
His cows lick the ice from off the stable walls
