Jandek - Frozen Beauty lyrics

I thought I told you

Not to be so nice

I thought I'd hold you

Just once or twice

But you stayed around

All this time

If I didn't go

You'd probably have changed

But because I'm gone

I still see you the same

It's like you're frozen

Time doesn't change you

You're still around

And you're the same

Sometimes I see you

You're in a dream

Just like you were

A long time ago

I'll take what you give me

This memory

I don't need nothing else

I made you this way

I took your life

Put it in a box

I pray at your gravestone

Remembering when

You walked my path

You slept in my bed

It's a long, long time

I've got a pain in my head

But you gave me an earthquake

Everything is rearranged

I take this new place

As the world is now

It's just I remember

Your frozen image

You wild, wild thing

You gave me a jungle

To cut my way through

The beasts and the dangers

Made me what I am

So walk with me, frozen beauty

As I reclaim my life

I'm sure that you're melting

Some other place I don't know
