Elton John - Rope Around A Fool lyrics

Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Released as a uk b-side in 1988 I don't make the rules around here A tear starts at the edge It takes two hands to rip it It takes a lot more than either one of us has said But i come from indecision A place you ain't never been Living in the state of confusion On a map that runs like the veins under your skin We got miss communication kicking out the stool We got ma** determination making up the rules But saving us is something that we can't do And it's easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool And love is just another means By which we hang ourselves It takes two to execute One to leave with innocence and one to leave with guilt But i just see no reality Just shades drawn on remorse We've whipped this beast beyond the limit Staggered out of breath along this course It's easier to lose a rope around a fool Easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool A ring of your indifference thrown anywhere you choose Easier sometimes to throw a rope around a fool Rope around a fool
