Rhythm Of The Real Thing

It was sublime, it was thunder,

As my life got torn asunder

I felt the rhythm of the real thing.

Falling down is nothing new

We all fall down now, even you

I felt the rhythm of the real thing.

Delicate and nearly new

Cherish it and love it too

Oh, the rhythm of the real thing.

All fall down or fall in love

Put it up to high above

You need the rhythm of the real thing

Colours fly and dull some men

Exit those who might resent

The rhythm of the real thing.

There's blood on your shirt

Is that what you said?

Exit laughing

Wake up dead

We're alone now, been before

Who can that be at my door

Is it the rhythm of the real thing?

(spoken)

Don't cry, go get him.

You're mine, don't let it.

It's time, your credit
