lyrics

The Ice

he spoke his convictions
a righteous kind of play
privilege let him cruise above
the hubbub and the fray

his wife brought him sherry
he sipped it in the den
he had spoken for their rights
a fighter since back when

that's the tale he spun inside
self portraits seldom true
preaching from atop the ice
until we fall right through

he couldn’t quite believe it
how they could savage him
now the good guys get attacked
on some misguided whim

then his cronies warned him
he’s liable for arrest
he felt way indignant
a curse to be so blessed

chorus

now the mob gets nearer
how did things go so wrong
he will meet them at the gate
instruct them to move on

that's the tale he spun inside
self portraits seldom true
preaching from atop the ice
until we fall right through
