You're standin' by the grey ice water
Out in the wind above the ground, out in the weather
You had yourself a crazy lover
Becomin' frozen, trying hard to forget her
You got a job up in Alaska
It's easy to save what the cannery pays
'Cause there ain't no way to spend it
You're standin' by the grey ice water
Out in the wind above the ground, out in the weather
You had yourself a crazy lover
Becomin' frozen, trying hard to forget her
You took the path of least resistance
On the phone, cutting out talking
Short to long distance
At home on a boat, at home it's a fish trap
At home on a boat, it's a fish trap
At home on a boat, it's a fish trap
On the Arctic blast
On the Arctic blast
On the Arctic blast
