Lyrics The way of the world Kayak

The way of the world

A bolted door and a prison cell
Turned his life into a living hell
It seems like fiction but he knows for a fact
She only did a disappearing act

He's doing time
For a phoney crime
She set her trap and played him for a fool

That's the way of the world
Where you get what you deserve
That's the way of the world
Never thought she'd have the nerve
That's the way of the world
That's the way of the world

It's payback time for the years she's lost
He's had his fun, but wonders at what cost
The plan has worked, they're convinced she's dead
By far the best laugh she's ever had

But he's not amused
'cause he's wrongly accused
Still he must admit she surely played it cool

That's the way of the world
She's a villian in disguise
That's the way of the world
Pulling the wool over his eyes
That's the way of the world
Yes the way of the world

Who's gonna believe him when the truth really sounds too absurd
She and her lover simply fell off the face of the earth
He's making the headlines
While she's spending her days at the beach
A new face, a new
A passport to paradise
That's the way of the world
