[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
I thought perhaps we could sit down to tea
Nein, was the cold reply of Frau ecstasy

[Verse 2]
Sitting on a mossy stump, among all the bottles drunk
Breath cold against the air
Oh, I smell your ragweed hair, smoked to the bone
Soaked to the bone, I'm all alone, poor me

[Chorus 2]
I thought perhaps we could sit down to tea
Nein, was the cool response of Frau ecstasy

[Outro] (x2)
Hey, who's that old man in the overalls
His cows lick the ice from off the stable walls
