Grey Ice Water Lyrics - Building Nothing Out Of Something - Modest Mouse

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
