Thin Line Lyrics by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Fanfare 1970 - 1997

1994

Precious power, woman to man
Cold blue steel in the palm of your hand
Shots of jealousy, fits of rage
One dream dies, the other one fades

Frozen still the heart that aches, imprisoned by the pain it takes
It leaves no stone unturned
No exception to the rules, sharpened swords and verbal duels
Can't change the damage done

(Thin line, this time) it's a thin line between love and hate
(Both sides testify) how much can one heart take
(No crime) watch out, don't you hesitate
(Thin line, this time) it's a thin line between love and hate, love and hate

Bed of roses, bed of nails
The sun is shining but the face is pale
Midnight madness, sex appeal
On the silver screen there's nothing real

No relief for hungry heart, all the lies tear you apart
With no rhyme or reason
Whatever it takes to get you through, you shock yourself, you play the fool
And die when you're all alone

(Thin line, this time) it's a thin line between love and hate
(Both sides testify) how much can one heart take
(No crime) watch out, don't you hesitate
(Thin line, this time) it's a thin line between love and hate, love and hate

Haunted is your every move, addicted by the thing you do
Still reminds me of you
No relief for the hungry heart, all the lies tear you apart
When you try to hide the truth

(Thin line, this time) it's a thin line between love and hate
(Both sides testify) how much can one heart take
(No crime) watch out, don't you hesitate
(Thin line, this time) it's a thin line between love and hate, love and hate
