Skatin' On Thin Ice

Kinky Friedman - Skatin' On Thin Ice

They say that even Jesus hates a loser 
And when you die you go to hockey hell 
And when your soul gets sent down, 
There'll be the devil skatin' round 
And an interview with Howard Cosell. 

Well, some call him a jet-set gladiator, 
Some say he's a soldier in a bloody silver war. 
But he's one hell of a warrior - 
He's got a good lawyer 
And every time he crosses that line you can hear that garden
roar. 

And he keeps on skatin' on thin ice 
Just six inches from paradise 
Livin' on the ice, lovin' on the run. 
He keeps on skatin' on thin ice 
Just six inches from paradise, 
Written in the stars, meltin' in the sun. 

Well, he scored again last night out in Vancouver, 
You might say that it was on a power play. 
He come in close, he shut the light, 
Before his teeth came out that night, 
In the morning it was hell to break away. 

Through northern lights and southern nights there's someone 
Who warms your heart as you shiver from the cold. 
But every gypsy, every lover, every dreamer must discover 
What you win out on the ice, you're gonna lose out out on the
road. 

And he keeps on skatin' on thin ice 
Just six inches from paradise 
Livin' on the ice, lovin' on the run. 
He keeps skatin' on thin ice 
Just six inches from paradise 
Written in the stars, boy, meltin' in the sun. 
Written in the stars, boy, meltin' in the sun.
