Marienbad Songtext
von Julia Holter

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?

Dull to be, too staid to be, too bold or stunned
Too young and growing

Ten signs that read silence
Ten signs that read silence

Too cold to remember a face (ten signs that read silence)
Impossible to say
Ten signs that read silence
So bored in mammalian skin!
Impossible to say
Ten signs that read silence

In frozen green
What′s alive?
Impossible to say


I can hear a statue
Wonder why they're so still (I can hear a statue)
All able heels in a garden
Summer's water runs so quickly beside them!
Could it be it runs for them?

Could?
Summer′s water runs so quickly
Dull to be, too staid to be

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
Im 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 humans whispers, so cold


A fountain ices over
A story over
A mouth says nothing
A few more seconds

Forever marble
Topiary moment waiting
Im 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 humans whispers, so cold
