[verse]

They say it is a fine line between the living and the dead. It is a mighty thin line you must walk my friend.

So make the most of living in each and every little way, cause you got to cross the fine line one of these days.

It's just a matter of time, time, time, you must cross the line, it's a matter of time, time, time, you got tocross the line.

Yeah, it is a fine line, it's a real fine line. It is a fine line, my friend. Yeah, it is a fine line, it's a real fine line. We all must cross the fine line in the end.

You can drive your fast cars, and you can wear your minks, jump on an airplane and you can see the Sphinx. Collect all the diamonds and the gold you can find, but none that will buy you peace of mind.

It's just a matter of time, time, time, you got to cross the line. It's a matter of time, time, time, you got to cross the line.

You can build your castles and play with all your toys. Someone's gonna separate the men from the boys. He's got your number and the dues you've got to pay, you're bound to meet the Grim Reaper one of these days,

It's just a matter of time, time, time, you got to cross the line. It's a matter of time, time, time, you got to cross the line.

Yes, it is a fine line, it's a real fine line. It is a fine line, my friend. Yeah, it is a fine line, it's a real fine line. You got to cross the fine line in the end.

Yes, it is a fine line 'tween wealth and happiness. It's up to you to choose which one you like the best. Life is like a treasure chest, no matter what they say, so you better put something away for judgment day.

It's just a matter of time, time, time, you got to cross the line. It's a matter of time, time, time, you got to cross the line. You got to cross the fine line in the end.

[chorus]

Yes, it is a fine line, it's a real fine line. It is a fine line, my friend. Yeah, it is a fine line, it's a real fine line. You got to cross the fine line in the end.

You got to cross the fine line in the end.

You got to cross the fine line in the end.
