German Statue

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
