Frozen Beauty Lyrics - Jandek

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
