Kayak - The Way of the World lyrics

A bolted door and a prison cell Turned his life into a living hell It seems like fiction but he knows for a fact She only did a disappearing act He's doing time For a phoney crime She set her trap and played him for a fool That's the way of the world Where you get what you deserve That's the way of the world Never thought she'd have the nerve That's the way of the world That's the way of the world It's payback time for the years she's lost He's had his fun, but wonders at what cost The plan has worked, they're convinced she's dead By far the best laugh she's ever had But he's not amused 'cause he's wrongly accused Still he must admit she surely played it cool That's the way of the world She's a villian in disguise That's the way of the world Pulling the wool over his eyes That's the way of the world Yes the way of the world Who's gonna believe him when the truth really sounds too absurd She and her lover simply fell off the face of the earth He's making the headlines While she's spending her days at the beach A new face, a new A pa**port to paradise That's the way of the world
