Thin Ice

(album: Circus - 1995)

You must be walking
On shaky ground
You're always jumping
At every sound
You've been a hustler for all your days
A real motherfucker in every way

When you're a loser you're all alone
So you made up for everything
That you thought you'd lost
But you paid a cost,
Hey ...

You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

You're always running
With every game
First you're pushing coke and then you're hoing dames
You say you can't give nothing better back
Than you got back at home
Well I tell you that's bullshit brother
And that's a heavy load

It's an illusion when you think you're the boss
Oh no no no
'Cause you really ain't got a thing
But the crumbs you're tossed
But don't you feel the frost
Hey ...

You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
