Besides the rather obvious varied part (before he starts repeating "It's all nice on ice, alright"), I just wanted to comment on the end.
I think when he is saying "It's all nice on ice, alright" he is saying two things: One: that Jesus walking on water is nothing special, because walking on ice is walking on water. Two: When you die they put you on ice and that's it, and that's fine, because life is quite enough of a ride to not need an 'after'.
@HiveNode It's also a reference to meth - there's multiple meanings to the saying, which is why it's the title. 'Ice' being a slang term for methamphetamine and Isaac's use of the drug during this time pervades the songs on the album - Trucker's Atlas and Lounge (Closing Time) specifically, in addition to this song.
