Styrofoam Boots / It’s All Nice on Ice, Alright Songtext
von Modest Mouse

Well all′s not well but I'm told that it′ll all be quite nice
You'll be drowned in boots like mafia but your feet will still float like Christ's
Well I′ll be damned
They were right
I′m drowning upside down
My feet afloat like Christ's!

I′m in heaven trying to figure out which stack
They're going to stuff us atheists into, and Peter and his monkey laugh
And I laugh with them
I′m not sure what at
They point and say, "we'll keep you in the back
Polishing halos, baking manna and gas"

Well some guy comes in looking a bit like everyone I ever seen
He moves just like Crisco disco, breath 100% Listerine
He says looking at something else but directing everything to me
"Anytime anyone gets on their knees to pray
Well it makes my telephone ring!"
And I′ll be damned!


He said, "you were right, no one's running this whole thing"
He had a theory too...

He said that god takes care of himself
God takes care of himself, and you of you
He said that god takes care of himself
God takes care of himself, and you of you
He said that god takes care of himself
God takes care of himself, and you of you

It's all nice, it′s all nice
It′s all nice on ice, alright
It's all nice, it′s all nice
It's all nice on ice (On ice)
(On ice)

It′s all nice, it's all nice
It′s all nice on ice, alright
I said it's all nice, it's all nice
It′s all nice on ice, alright
I said it′s not day and it ain't night
It′s all nice on ice, alright


Alright, Sir!
It's all nice, it′s all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright
It′s all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright

It′s all nice, it′s all nice, it's all nice, it′s all nice
It's all nice, it′s all nice, it's all nice on ice
It′s all nice on ice, alright
It's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright
It′s all nice on ice, alright

It′s all nice, it's all nice
It′s all nice on ice, alright
Well, it's all nice, it′s all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright

Now well it′s all nice, it's all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright

It′s all nice, it′s all nice
It's all nice on ice, alright

One, two, three
