Lyrics
The Iceman
The Iceman, walking down the road!
The Iceman carries a heavy load!
Chorus:
Sometimes it's Chrystal Meth,
Other times it's certain death.
The Iceman is really cold.
Johnny's on the corner with a dollar in his hand!
Johnny's on the corner waiting for the Iceman!
Chorus:
Waiting in the shadows, a new gun in her hand!
A grieving mother, waiting for the Iceman!
Now that little Johnny's dead and gone,
She wonders how she can carry on
While the Iceman is collecting Gold.
See the morning; see the break of Day,
Watch the Iceman as he melts away
An eight year old's mother, gun in her hand
Standing over the iceman
And the Iceman is really cold.
Evening Paper, what the Headlines said.
Poor lonely woman shoots an Officer dead.
Chorus:
