[Verse 1]
Out on the ice
A volunteer puts powder on a sled
So far there are no signs of what the packet said

[Verse 2]
Out on the ice
If looking through a telescope
Is looking down a wall
The mind is charmed
And flatness now is depth

[Chorus]
The wide white tower sheer
There he clings
Soaked bat
Then what spectrum gleams beside the tower base?

[Refrain]
He sees it in the evening through the window square

[Verse 3]
Out on the ice
He swoons, his water boils
Yes, he nodded and a star was born
Provisions and a helicopter plan
The faintest glim inside the skin
A feather brushed his neck
Some color shifting in the blood

[Chorus]
There he clings
Soaked bat
Looks out
Looks down
He swoons, his water boils
What spectrum gleams beside the tower base?

[Refrain]
He sees it in the evening through the window square
