[Lyric] Rule Number One (Brahms' Third Racket)

From the start of time
Until the bitter end
Things I shouldn’t do
And all that it portends
I have seen the future
Witness to the birth
Of an empty mother earth

Rule number one
The doctor lies, the doctor lies
Rule number two
It’s up to you; it’s up to you
Rule number three
Don’t believe what you see
Rule number four
A different world outside your door

Tomorrow I’m alive
Yesterday I’m dead
Things I shouldn’t hear
You should not have said
I have seen the past
Visited the grave
Of the one I couldn’t save
Rule number one
The doctor lies, the doctor lies
Rule number two
It’s up to you; it’s up to you
Rule number three
Don’t believe what you see
Rule number four
A different world outside your door

Rule number one
