Julia Holter
Marienbad (Live)
[Verse 1]
I can hear a statue
Wonder why they're so still
All able heels in a garden
Summer's water runs so quickly beside them
Could it be it runs for them?

[Refrain 1]
Dull to be too staid
To be too bold or stunned
Too young and growing

[Verse 2]
Ten signs that read "Silence."
Ten signs that read "Silence."

[Refrain 2]
Too cold to remember a face
Impossible to say
In frozen green, what's alive?
What's alive?

[Chorus]
Over stone so still; a statue's will to move
Like birds so stoically; by the drain
Gardens carved of stone
The human whispers, so cold
A fountain ices over
A story over, a mouth says nothing
A few more seconds, forever marble
Topiary moment
Waiting, I'm waiting by the drain
See the ice never thawing
Their legs always still
Like hearts so stoically; by the drain
See gardens carved of stone
The human whispers, so cold
A fountain ices
Over stone so still; a statue's will to move
Like birds so stoically; by the drain
Gardens carved of stone
The human whispers, so cold
A fountain ices over
A story over, a mouth says nothing
A few more seconds, forever marble
Topiary moment
Waiting, I'm waiting by the drain
See the ice never thawing
Their legs always still
Like hearts so stoically; by the drain
See gardens carved of stone
The human whispers, so cold
