Rise and Fall
[DOTTORE]
Observe the patient
Each and every vital sign
Hideous hallucinations
Look he's drinking too much wine!
The world has turned against him
He's imagining a sneer on every face
Observe my friends, the classic case

First, the man's a king
Then, the man's a clown
When the man discovers
What goes up has just gone down

First, he makes it big
Then, he wakes up small
Every man must face
His rise and fall

[TROUPE]
La la la
Now the man is in
Soon he may be out
Out he soars and down he roars
From doubt to hope to doubt
Happens to the best
Happens to us all
[DOTTORE]
Every man must face
His rise and fall
And rise and fall
