I was told
that an ice house
caught a cold
on the outside
inside it was already
freezing cold !

The ice house lives on a hill
but it´s name is not Bill,
not even for a cheap rhyme´s sake´s will.
And despite the fact that odd words spill
all over the hill
these lyrics never will
turn into a song

Right now my mail box
makes plong
just like my song,
it´s a german machine,
a chinese one might sing pling
but only maybe,
most certainly not
but now I forgot
the ice house for a second
that´s just because
of me getting old
but not much
just a little at a time
it´s better than catching a cold
my mother told
but not me
I found out myself
while climbing the hill

& since I´m not very old
one day I fell in love
with an ice house
which caught a cold
& when we introduced
each other I heard
that the ice house´s name was Bill
but still not the hill´s,
it was as you know, never called Bill.

To fall in love with an ice house
which caught a cold
on the outside
was no problem for me at all
not even because I´m not old
as you were told
since a long time ago
I caught fire like hell
on the outside
and inside as well
which is quite amazing
since I don´t live on a hill
& my previous lover´s name
was already Bill
he also had no house on a hill
not even a cold
& now he is old
I was told

But this is
how the story goes,
if a burning heart
proposes to a freezing cold
caught or not
you got to wake up
if you happen to dream
on a dark night´s seam
even if you are waiting
for an early morning
sunbeam

Who wrote these dreadful lines?
You might ask yourself,
better ask me,
I got a clue,
the ice house´s lover
wrote this note
I was told,
Thank God
not me
I´m just cold
& eventually growing old
& if you add an s
to the old
you will learn
that the ice house was sold
but it is still
living on a hill
happily ever since
united with it´s sweetheart Jill
this is only for the rhyme´s sake´s will
but please don´t kill
me for rhyming poorly still
if you will
even if you won´t
I hate to be dead,
it´s so boring
I was told
by another man without a cold

But most important
here at the end
the point of this note:
To keep both lovers warm
on the outside the icehouse
& on the inside Jill,
she fixed a nice coat on the hill
that´s what good girls do
& bad girls as well
I can tell,
but I won´t.

I just wanted to give you a hint,
if you ever wish
to visit the ice house
which caught a cold
watch out for a huge red flame
you won´t catch fire
neither a cold
& not even get sold
I was told
it´s just a coat
with a burning heart full of love
for Bill, the ice house on the hill
