German Statue Lyrics

Oh I think I'm falling under

Swore I wouldn't give in

Oh if God knows who I'm looking for

He did a fine job on him

And I keep telling myself

That it would've been better if she never left him

Cause he's just standing there all lonesome

Drawing me in

And the worst of it is

When I try to look away, the ancient wisdom in his eyes

Calls to me

I'm a hopeless spectator and he is

Like a German statue

I wander through a bewildering maze

And he's at the portico

Waiting for me

And then the hedges disappear

And the attraction is crystal clear

As he's regally standing there

Like a German statue

And I realize I'm not going anywhere

Without my German statue

And I keep telling myself

That it would've been better if she never left him

Cause he's just standing there all lonesome

Drawing me in

And the worst of it is

When I try to look away, the ancient wisdom in his eyes

Calls to me

I'm a hopeless spectator and he is

Like a German statue

He's an exhibit at the Louvre

I'd pay any ticket just to see his face

More remarkable than the Mona Lisa

Or the Nike of Samothrace

He's not a god, I know

But he's a saint

And I wanna rest inside the engraving

Of his name

His perfect imperfection, my classical obsession

Matchless in design, fashion of the divine

And if his statue fractures, it'd be my worst disaster

So when his marble rusts, I'll join him in the dust

And I keep telling myself

That it would've been better if she never left him

Cause he's just standing there all lonesome

Drawing me in

And the worst of it is

When I try to look away, the ancient wisdom in his eyes

Calls to me

I'm a hopeless spectator and he is

Like a German statue

He's an exhibit at the Louvre

I'd pay any ticket just to see his face

More remarkable than the Mona Lisa

Or the Nike of Samothrace

He's not a god, I know

But he's a saint

And I wanna rest inside the engraving

Of his name

Yeah I wanna claim the identity

Of his name

I wander through a bewildering maze

And he's at the portico

Waiting for me
