The Sword of Damocles

The sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
Oh, woe is me, my life is a misery
Oh, can't you see that I'm at the start of a pretty big downer?

I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed
(That ain't no crime)
And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread
(That ain't no crime)
My high is low, I'm dressed up with no place to go
And all I know, is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer...

Sha-la-la-la that ain't no crime That ain't no crime

The sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
(That ain't no crime)
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
(That ain't no crime)
Oh, woe is me, my life is a mystery
Oh, can't you see that I'm at the start of a pretty big downer?

Sha-la-la-la that ain't no crime That ain't no crime

Sha-la-la-la that ain't no crime That ain't no crime

Sha-la-la
