Rules and Schemes by The Fixx Lyrics

Well, I've fallen in the well of emptiness
But at least I'm dry, I'm not dead just yet
I've been praying for rain, oh, but the sun keeps shining
I've been lost in the dust, oh, it's going to settle soon

In any event, it's a slump I can handle
I turn on my TV, see Gods playing devils
Just need to connect and get back in the stream
Pick up the tools, I see the rules and the schemes

The rules and schemes
The rules and schemes

So I stumbled upon a word hotter than sex
I think it's confusion, I must put it to the test
If all roads are leading to who judges, who? Is it you?
Well, we'd best keep on turning, you know, I'm slipping the noose

In any respect, there's a path I can travel
There's lots of good people enjoying the angle
Just need to connect and get back in the stream
Pick up the tools and see the rules and the schemes
Every mind that dreams, up on the silver screen
Every fool that screams could break the rules and schemes

So I've fallen in the well of emptiness
But at least I'm dry, I'm not dead just yet
I've been praying for rain but the sun keeps shining

Rules and schemes
Rules and schemes

Every mind that dreams, up on the silver screen
Every fool that screams could break the rules and scream
Yeah, it's only words, only words
Only words, only words, only rules and schemes
