Keep Your Distance
[Verse 1]
If I cross your path again, who knows where and who knows when
On some morning without number, on some highway without end
Don't grasp my hand and say, "Fate has brought you here today"
For fate is only fooling with us, friend

[Chorus]
Keep your distance, keep your distance
When I feel you close to me, what can I do but fall?
And keep your distance, keep your distance
With us it must be all or none at all

[Verse 2]
It's a desperate game we play, throw our souls, our lives away
Wounds that can't be mended and debts that can't be paid
Oh, I played and I got stung, now I'm biting back my tongue
And I'm sweeping out the footprints where I strayed

[Chorus]
Keep your distance, keep your distance
When I feel you close to me, what can I do but fall?
And keep your distance, keep your distance
With us it must be all or none at all
Keep your distance, keep your distance
When I feel you close to me, what can I do but fall?
And keep your distance, keep your distance
With us it must be all or none at all
[Outro]
With us it must be all or none at all
With us it must be all or none at all
With us it must be all or none at all
With us it must be all or none at all
