Lyrics Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse

Grey Ice Water

You're standing by your 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

At home on a boat, it's a fish trap

You took the path of least resistance

On the phone cutting out talking

Short to long distance

You're standing by your grey ice water

Out in the wind above ground out in the water

You had yourself a crazy lover

Become unfrozen 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

On the arctic blast

On the arctic blast

On the arctic blast

On the arctic blast

On the arctic blast

On the arctic blast

On the arctic blast
