Ian Anderson - Hard Liner lyrics

Hard liner, she brings ice when I bring fire She's a hard liner Tightrope cross Niagara She'd cut the wire Never feel a thing Walked the sidewalk of another strange avenue Kicked my heels and wished my feet were in some other shoes But I'm not running from that hard liner Well she brings ice when I bring fire She's a real hard liner How does she retain my heart's desire? It's a funny thing Knows what she wants, knows how to get it, too Scares me with cold logic, scares me with the witch's brew But I keep on drinking Hard liner Hard liner I'm framed and I'm hanging on the wall She's a hard liner I'm like some big game trophy hat-stand in the hall But I remember warm and loving nights Pier-head restaurants Swaying mast-head lights It's a funny thing Hard liner Yeah, she brings ice when I bring fire Hard liner Tightrope 'cross Niagara, don't cut my wire Hard liner, hard, hard liner She brings sun when I bring rain She's a real hard liner Yeah, we've got it all crossed up again Hard liner. Hard liner Now I don't think we can stay in the same town
