Procol Harum - Skating On Thin Ice lyrics

You were the player And you played it cool I was the stranger And i played the fool You were the teacher And you were the best I was the seeker And i failed the test We were always skating on thin ice Shaking the wrong dice Swimming against the tide Playing on the wrong side Yes you were the player And you were so cool I was the greenhorn King of the fools Painting the picture To fit with the frame Changing the players To fit with the game You were the searcher Out for the sky I was the traveller Just pa**ing by You were the taker And you gave the call I was the faker And i dropped the ball
