Rope Lyrics by It’s Immaterial

Life’s Hard and Then You Die

1986

How it makes me jump!
What's that sound? Rumours do abound
In twisted tales, no truth prevails
Two tongues do expound
Now the wise are wide awake
Rise and take your heed
While you're asleep, fools speak
Spinning as they weave

Look! The rope is breaking
Saints alive, we'll fall
And this house is burning down
Save us one and all

With or without reason, fever needs a cure
Yes, my son, I'm blind and dumb, these things I do endure
Up, in heaven's name, there's no time to grieve
The truth is dead, I've heard it said
Take care what you read

Look! The rope is breaking
Saints alive, we'll fall
And this house is burning down
Save us one and all
Look! The rope is breaking
Saints alive, we'll fall
And my life is upside down
Walking up the wall

Can you imagine that?

So I sat up, in heaven's name, there's no time to grieve
Now the truth is dead, I've heard it said
Take care what you read

Look! The rope is breaking
Saints alive, we'll fall
And this house is burning down
Save us one and all
Look! The rope is breaking
Saints alive, we'll fall
And my life is upside down
Walking up the wall

Save us from this fall
Save us one and all
Save us from this fall
Save us
Save us one and all

Hey, won't you help me please
I can't see the wood for trees
And won't you listen please
And won't you turn on the TV
