Ice on the Wing

[Verse 1]
I am made of Sopwith Camel
Sherman PT-17, sixty and cloudy, I go slow
Compared to modernity, I am a humming bee
Sweater weather and hugs and drugs and movies

[Chorus]
But baby ice is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing
You rolled the dice but you didn’t know anything

[Post-Chorus]
Underneath the oxide
Underneath the oxide
It’s all the same song

[Verse 2]
I am made of no newspapers
When the V-1 buzzing stopped, only prayers
I am made of young curiosity, deluded piety
Double-whiskey for the men
Don’t talk to thy neighbor
If they don’t take your same lord as savior
In a songless meeting house
Proud to be the only ones who get saved in the end
From hugs and drugs and movies

[Chorus]
But baby ice is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing
You rolled the dice but you didn’t know anything

[Bridge]
What if I start now?
Just like someone’s watching me
Somebody’s watching me
What if I start now?
Just like someone’s watching me

[Chorus]
But baby ice is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing
Baby ice is growing on the wing

[Post-Chorus]
But underneath the oxide
Underneath the oxide
Underneath the oxide
It’s all the same
