The Rules of the Road

[Verse 1]
So these are the ropes
The tricks of the trade
The rules of the road
You're one of the dopes
For whom they were made
The rules of the road

[Bridge]
You follow that kiss and recklessly miss
A bend of the road
Then suddenly this
The end of the road

[Verse 2]
So love is a hoax
A glittering stream
Of little white lies
But these are the jokes
And what if they bring
The tears to your eyes?

[Bridge]
Well, love often shows a funny return
The brighter it glows
The longer you burn
And Lord only knows
Love has little concern for the fools of the road

[Verse 3]
But that's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the road

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
But that's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the road

[Outro]
And everyone knows that that's how it goes
The rules of the road
