********************************************************* "Verse 1": you're standing by the grey ice water out in the wind above ground out in the weather you had yourself a crazy lover becoming frozen trying hard to forget her you got a job up in alaska it's easy to save what the cannery pays cause there ain't no way to spend it "Verse 2": you're standing by the grey ice water out in the wind above ground out in the weather you had yourself a crazy lover becoming frozen trying hard to forget her you took the path of least resistance on the phone cutting out talking short to long distance "Part 3": at home on a boat, it's a fish trap (3x) "Ending": on the arctic blast (x7) ********************************************************* INSTRUMENTAL/"VOCAL" LAYOUT:
