Statue Song Songtext
von Stew

I′m tired of holding this goddamn sword
I'm tired of standing still
I′m tired of looking dignified
Against my will
I'm tired of looking at tourists
With their stupid pig-faced grins
I just long for a night

If you think it's alright
To be indoors again
To be indoors again
To be indoors again
To be indoors again

I remember the warmth of a distant embrace
But I cannot recall the name
I know we had a falling out
But I can′t say who was to blame
I remember the father′s burning rage
And the mother's cold refrain
I once threw pebbles at that window


To get indoors again
To get indoors again
To get indoors again
To get indoors again

Now the fog has become a friend of mine
And the rain′s my mistress fair
The snow and I see eye to eye
But the wind won't mess up my hair
And the pigeon shit ain′t as bad
As you might think it would be, friend

I just long for a night
If you think it's alright
To be indoors again
To be indoors again
To be indoors again
To be indoors again

Well I hooked up with this hotel maid
She was somewhat startled at first
But we started talking then after a while
She quenched my lethal thirst
She said, "You′re no different than most men
I've been out with, dear friend"
And then she asked me how it felt right now


To be indoors again
To be indoors again
To be indoors again
To be indoors again

Tonight I'll dream of being a pigeon
On rooftops in the sun
Tonight I′ll dream of reading newspapers
The left and right wing ones
And I will dream of seeing a movie
Jerry Lewis meets Bergman
And I will dream of a scoop of ice cream

And being indoors again
Just being indoors again
Just being indoors again
Just being indoors again

Well I had to wake up sometime
From this dream of being real
They put me here exposed to the world
And expect me not to feel
So if you think your life′s not going anywhere
Please consider me, dear friend
Out here in the fog with the tourists and the dogs

While you're indoors again
While you′re indoors again

So when you think your life's not going anywhere
So when you think your life′s not going anywhere
So when you think your life's not going anywhere
So when you think your life′s not going anywhere
So when you think your life's not going anywhere
So when you think your life's not going anywhere
So when you think your life′s not going anywhere
So when you think your life′s not going anywhere
