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