Lyrics & Music By Pete Dowan (SOCAN)
ICE AGE
1st VERSE:
Scorcher... so the scientists say
Greenhouse..... gonna burn us away
Blister... on the face of the earth
But for what it's worth
The changing of times, can also be signs
Of what has happened before
With global extremes afraid what it means
CHORUS:
I THINK WE'RE HEADIN' FOR AN ICE AGE
REPEATING ANCIENT HISTORY
I THINK WE'RE HEADIN' FOR AN ICE AGE
MUCH CLOSER THAN WE'D LIKE TO BE.
2nd VERSE:
Southland... gonna sizzle and bake
Central... turning into a lake
Northeast... gonna gradually freeze
Everybody leaves
The experts are clear... The warming is here
An average temperature rise.
But regionally, I must disagree
CHORUS:
I THINK WE'RE HEADIN' FOR AN ICE AGE (Ice Age)
REPEATING ANCIENT HISTORY (Ice Age)
I THINK WE'RE HEADIN' FOR AN ICE AGE (Ice Age)
MUCH CLOSER THAN WE'D LIKE TO BE.
ICE AGE..ICE AGE ICE AGE..ICE AGE
3rd VERSE:
(SUNG OCTAVE LOWER..[with a growl] harmony in fifths
Summer... in the Canada east
Slowly... giving in to the beast
Sleeping.. when we thought it was dead
Rears its ugly head.
It's lurking up there, we'll have to prepare
For mass migration of life.
Ignoring the threat, we just may regret
CHORUS: (repeat twice)
I THINK WE'RE HEADIN' FOR AN ICE AGE (Ice Age)
REPEATING ANCIENT HISTORY (Ice Age)
I THINK WE'RE HEADIN' FOR AN ICE AGE (Ice Age)
MUCH CLOSER THAN WE'D LIKE TO BE.
END.. ICE AGE..ICE AGE ICE AGE..ICE AGE
