Styrofoam Boots / It's All Nice On Ice, Alright

(album: The Lonesome Crowded West - 1997)

[Styrofoam Boots]

Well, all's not well but I'm told that it'll all be quite nice
You'll be drowned in boots like mafia
But your feet will still float like Christ's
Well, I'll be damned
They were right
I'm drowning upside down
My feet afloat like Christs'
I'm in heaven trying to figure out which stack
They're going to stuff us atheists into
And Peter and his monkey laugh and I'll laugh with them
I'm not sure what at
They point and say:
"We'll keep you in the back,"
Polishing halos, baking manna and gas

Well, some guy comes in looking a bit like everyone I ever seen
He moves just like Crisco disco
Breathing a hundred percent Listerine
He says looking at something else but directing everything to me
"Any time anyone gets on their knees to pray
Well, it makes my telephone ring" and I'll be damned
He said "you were right, no one's running this whole thing"
He had a theory, too

He said that God takes care of himself, God takes care of himself
And you of you
He said that God takes care of himself, God takes care of himself
And you of you
He said that God takes care of himself, God takes care of himself
And you of you

[It's All Nice on Ice, Alright]

It's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright
It's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice (On ice!)
(On ice!)
It's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright
I said it's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright
I said it's not day and it ain't night
It's all nice on ice, alright

Alright
It's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright
It's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright
It's all nice, it's all nice, it's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice, it's all nice, it's all nice on ice!

It's all nice on ice, alright
It's all nice!
It's all nice on ice, alright!
It's all nice on ice! Alright

It's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright
Well, it's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright

Now it's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright!

It's all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright

"One, two, three
Four."
