The Thin Ice

momma loves her baby,
and daddy loves you, too
and the sea may look warm to ya, babe
and the sky may look blue.
oooooo babe.
ooooooo baby blue.
ooooo ooohh babe.
if you should go skating,
on the thin ice of modern life,
dragging behind you the silent reproach,
of a million tear-stained eyes,
don't be surprised when a crack in the ice.
appears under your feet.
you slip out of your depth and out of your mind,
with your fear flowing out from behind,
you as you claw the ice.
