All my limits fell into the Arctic and froze   So, as long as you can stomach all this prose   I'll keep on talk, talk, talkin' in circles around   This love I lost and hate I found for myself   Oh, you know too well      And there's a right way   But it's in the trade   Of your basic life   For a higher way, and well   I know you'll find it in your way      'Cause she's got skin like snow   But she's twice as cold   There's just this hope growin' in my bones   That I see the girl grow old      Your tentacles have found their way   Round my poor hearts open airways   I said, well, I am lacking   But find traction in your   Face like gold, you know I'm told   It'll save my ass from getting old   The truth is screaming "When?"   As I am stumbling home again      And there's a right way   But it's in the trade   Of your basic life   For a higher way, and well   I know you'll find it in your way      'Cause she's got skin like snow   But she's twice as cold   There's just this hope growin' in my bones   That I see the girl grow old in the end      (And I believe you will come to me   It's not a question of when   As long as it will happen)      (I said I'm done, done, done   With waiting around for you)
