[Verse 1]
It's always cold inside the icehouse
Though the rivers never freeze

[Verse 2]
The devil lives inside the icehouse

Now it's colder every day
But she's still dreaming through the summer
And she's hoping through the spring
She says she's got no time for winter nights
She doesn't notice as the days grow darker
She can't remember getting any older
There's no love inside the icehouse
[Verse 3]
And now she's dreaming of a new love
And she hopes he'll be there soon
She says she's got no time for winter nights
She doesn't notice as the days grow darker
She can't remember getting any older
There's no love inside the icehouse
There's no love inside the icehouse
The icehouse
