The Rise and the Fall by The Thought (1982) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for something to happen
For far too long now, far too eager
I’ve been relayed by some kind of freak
Whose worlds are typewriters, words are hollow

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you don't understand me, just don't judge me now

[Chorus]
I’m having a good time, I'm having a ball
It's nice to have been here, the rise and the fall

[Verse 2]
Me and life, well, we're still lovers
I cherish my memories, my mind keeps a diary
And you couldn't hurt me, it would take someone real
I've grown so strong now, I'm a feeling soft steel

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you don't understand me, just don’t judge me now
[Chorus]
I’m having a good time, I'm having a ball
It’s nice to have been here, the rise and the fall

Rise and fall!
Creep, and crawl!

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you don't understand me, just don't judge me now

[Chorus]
I'm having a good time, I’m having a ball
It's nice to have been here, the rise and the fall

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I'm having a good time, I'm having a ball
It's nice to have been here, the rise and the fall
