LYRICS
There's a fine, fine line between investment grade and junk There's a fine, fine line between liquidity and a crunch And you never know 'til you settle up if the credit is benign There's a fine, fine line between a gain and a painful decline
There's a fine, fine line between the theories and the facts And there's a fine, fine line between what's solid and what cracks And now my holdings badly misbehave and my losses aren't confined 'Cause there's a fine, fine line between a gain and a painful decline
For years I piled on debt and smiled as my profits soared (I even bought a solid gold toilet, yeah) Now I see that I can't be levered this much any more (panicking, I'm panicking, I think I've soiled myself) Bernanke, please save me, cut rates, oh I implore... (please, even 50 bps)
There's a fine, fine line between a bull and a bear And there's a fine, fine line between delight and despair I'm hoping I'll avoid the pain to come from trades yet to unwind But there's a fine, fine line between a gain and a crippling, crushing, mortally wounding decline (help me)
