You've been away for such a long long time   Gone from the brickyard, gone from the mine   All these unfamiliar places used to find your measured paces   Now it's all arriving, now it's all just fine   I thought perhaps we could sit down for tea   Nein, was the cold reply of Frau ecstasy   Sitting on a mossy stump, among all the bottles drunk, breathe cold against the air   Oh I smell your ragweed hair, smoked to the bone, soaked to the bone I'm all alone, poor me   I thought perhaps we could sit down for tea   Nein, was the cold reply of Frau ecstasy   Hey, who's that old man in the overalls,   His cows lick the ice from off the stable walls   Hey, who's that old man in the overalls,   His cows licked the ice from off the stable walls
