Well let me tell you everybody how it all begins
Wake up in the morning, the sun pouring in
Beggars at my window, the tock from the clock
Not a man on this planet gonna make my party stop.
Absolute freedom, a dream come true
Give the man a pound so he can get a can of special brew
A joyous grin, this was better than a free lunch
The homeless are happier when they're a little drunk.
Walking down the highway, a bounce in my step
Singing to myself, my arms outstretched
When the ground gets slippy, the air a little colder
An icy chill down my back, I look over my shoulder.
My love has arrived, and this is our story
An arctic queen in all her frozen glory
She walks by my side for the rest of the day
And freezes anybody who looks at her the wrong way.
From ladies in their 80's to kids from 5 and under
A winter wonderland in the middle of summer
Frozen to death not a figure of speech.
Inanimate statues frozen on a sandy beach
If this was ff7 I'd be summoning Shiva
My beer is now an ice block and a frozen pizza
Think I'll just wait for hell to freeze over
Looks like I'm spending my life sober.

I cant go on living this way
Her love is a memory from yesterday
Arctic colds freeze my bones
Just keep drinking to forget I'm alone
This is the most love I've ever felt
And as she freezes I just begin to melt
She's just like Ice Cream
She sings as I scream.

I met her at Christmas on a frozen lake
Caught between a bear and a venomous snake
From the jaws of death, she pulled me from
Indebted to her for many years to come.
As the snow came down, we went to see Santa
He asked me what I wanted as I sat on his lap, yeah
I wished for the heavens as far as the eye can see
And he clicked his fingers and I control reality.
But everything I make has an icy twist
A cold night behind the burger van with the first girl I ever kissed
A dirty nerd rocker in a shirt at a pop concert
It only lasted a few minutes, never claimed to be the expert.
So this was pure devotion being offered on a plate
Already talking weddings and its only the first date
If she was Scorpian then I would be subzero
S on my chest like superman, badass like De Niro
She would be my lover, would never leave my bed
Only downside to the deal is everybody would be dead
We would set the sky on fire if it wasn't so damn old
Gonna be sexy when I'm forty, I'm not scared of getting old.
Dreamy like Clooney, a silver fox like Schofield
Right now I'm a rabbit in the middle of a minefield
All the countries will stop fighting, I will be the biggest bomb
Everybody has a final form, i'll grow big like a pokemon.

I cant go on living this way
Her love is a memory from yesterday
Arctic colds freeze my bones
Just keep drinking to forget I'm alone
This is the most love I've ever felt
And as she freezes I just begin to melt
She's just like Ice Cream
She sings as I scream.

Fast-forward to to the future, destruction around me
A thousand frozen bodies frozen eyes are upon me
I know it's up to me to decide their fate
I clench my fists together and hope it's not too late.
Spent too many years living in the chaos
Too many years sniffing coke with Kate Moss
Too many years in this hyper reality
Too many years to become another casualty.
She pulls me close, her dress gets a little tighter
But Paul I told you I'm a lover not a fighter
I'm my own destiny, just go with the flow
Feel the fire burn inside me, gotta just let it go.
Flames spewing out of each one of my hands
A fire inferno across the breadth of the lands
Completely random yet every bit precise
No longer will she be cold as ice.
The sun comes out the snow starts to shift
Maybe babies a curse not a gift
Maybe we're better not together but apart
Think I knew this right from the start.
I'm my own man and my power is my passion
Doing home runs like they're going out of fashion
Every moment of my life has led to today
Watch the phoenix rise, Watch the ice melt away.

-Run from the night, head to the fire
-Run to the light, get what you desire
-If you don't succeed then just try again
-If you wake up the next day then you're born again.

-Run from the night, head to the fire
-Run to the light, get what you desire
-And it don't matter if you've failed once before
-Be thankful you're alive and just walk out that door.

I cant go on living this way
Her love is a memory from yesterday
Arctic colds freeze my bones
Just keep drinking to forget I'm alone
This is the most love I've ever felt
And as she freezes I just begin to melt
She's just like Ice Cream
She sings as I scream.
