Enough Rope
       (C) 1999 N.Thomas / K.Perkins

        Cut to slack and the heartstrings blister
        Warning words on another tongue twister
        What's fair in love and war when you can score
        A piggy back on a convenient sister

        Give them enough rope - they're going to pull on the reins
        Give them enough rope - they're going to swear they can fly
        Give them enough rope - they're going to believe they're the same
        Give them enough rope - they're going to hang themselves so high

        Cut to chase and adolescent detective
        A thousand questions and you're over-protective
        What's "War & Peace" when she's your golden fleece
        So screwed up that your emotions defective

        Cut and run and our senses are jolted
        In second sight our central visions defaulted
        What's peace of mind when your reactions are timed
        We close the gate after the horses have bolted
