PHISH - It's Ice lyrics
rate meI press on the elastic sheet, I'm breathing through a slice<br>'are they worms or are the serpents? ' bubbles through the ice<br>The source was quite invisible, the ever-present voice<br>While skating, both legs tracing different shapes, I made my choice<br><br>Mimicking the image in whose radiance I bask<br>I'm tied to him, or him to me, depending who you ask<br>None the less reluctantly reflections tumble in<br>I slide with all the other on the wrong side of the skin<br><br>He's fallen on the ice, it cracks<br>Will he plunge in and join me here? <br>He meets my eyes, to my surprise<br>He laughs in full light of my frown<br>My double wants to pull me down<br><br>Slipping on the friction slide, my skin peels to the bone<br>The flesh I leave behind, is something that is not my own<br>I beg my mirror image for a moment with my soul<br>He's leaning back, time to attack, to see who's in control<br><br>And every move I make he's got a hand up just in time<br>He's throwing several punches, and he's blocking most of mine<br>Defeated now I sulk and squirm above the frozen heights<br>Waiting, calculating till he ventures onto the ice.
