Rope Around A Fool - Elton John

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 miscommunication kicking out the stool

We got mass 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

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

We got miscommunication kicking out the stool

We got mass 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

Rope around a fool

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, hit it now

We got miscommunication kicking out the stool

We got mass 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

We got miscommunication kicking out the stool

We got mass 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

Rope around a fool, rope around a fool

Rope around a fool
