The Nits - Ice Princess lyrics

When you are a small trombone You think about the world outside your home And the burning of the trumpet Smells like white smoke and elephants fire And my ice princess dances on the ground when she walks Oh, my ice princess once was made of wood and water Mmmmmhhhhh... When you're on the riverside Where the air is cool and the moon is bright Carving trees with a pocket knife When we're dead, they're still alive And I'm sitting in a car driving downtown I'm watching the lights go up and down Turning left to the old brown school Wipe out the blackboard drawing, fool Why is my heart so cold Why is my heart so cold You say I'll never be the same (You say I'll never be the same) (You say I'll never be the same) (I will wait 20 years... 20 years... 20 years...) When you are a small trombone All the world was inside your home And my ice princess dances on the ground when she walks Why is my heart so cold Why is my heart so cold
