Artist/Band: Elvis Costello
Lyrics for Song: Walking On Thin Ice
Lyrics for Album: Out Of Our Idiot [1987]



Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price.

I'm throwing the dice in the air.

Why must we learn it the hard way

And play the game of life with our hearts?

I gave you my life, you gave me your life.

Like a gush of wind in my hair.

Why do we forget what's been said

And play the game of life with our hearts?



I may cry someday. A kiss will dry whichever way.

And when my heart returns to ashes, it will be just a story.

It will be just a story.



And you go and try to walk across the lake

Crossed it with winter and all of this is ice

A terrible thing to do. They say the lake is as thick as the ocean.

I wonder if she knew?
