Lyrics
Distance Between Love and Hate
By
Howard Levinson
The distance between love and hate is a continuum of pain and pleasure
It's a tenure of tears, laughter and grace
It takes a toll you cannot measure
The sweet, wet smell of sex and skin
Emotions thick and thread
It's temper and pride, it's sleepless nights
It's living a life on eggshells.
You got medicated absolution, spiritual prostitution
Because the distance between love and hate
The distance between love and hate
I said the distance between love and hate
You cannot measure
Cocktail carousels of pleasure and lust, you're desperately needing to trust
You head what I said, but not what I meant
It's all the same and yet so different
Because the distance between love and hate is a continuum of pain and pleasure
Loving vows, wanes and waxes, avoidable as death and taxes
You got medicated absolution, spiritual prostitution
Because the distance between love and hate
The distance between love and hate
I said the distance between love and hate
You cannot measure
You got medicated absolution, spiritual prostitution
Because the distance between love and hate
The distance between love and hate
I said the distance between love and hate
You cannot measure
