Lyrics
Ice King
I never want
I never need
I never cut
I never bleed
I only hurt
The things that I love
I?m a real grim reaper
When push comes to shove
I cannot touch
I cannot see
I can't be all the things
That you want me to be
I?m just a man
Who?s had enough
Baby, don?t give me that line
Of the diamond in the rough
I am the Ice King
I cannot feel a thing
I am a stone wall, baby
Don?t bother trying to get through
To me
You can call me quaint
You can call me cold
You can say that my name
Should be written in gold
No matter what
You say to me
Baby, talk is cheap
And the words are free
