The Sword of Damocles is hangin' over my head
and I’ve got the feelin' someone’s gonna be cuttin' 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 mornin' with a start when I fell out of bed
And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread
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
Shalalala that ain’t no crime
Shalalala that ain’t no crime
Shalalala that ain’t no crime
It ain’t no crime
The Sword of Damocles is hangin' over my head
And I got the feelin' someone’s gonna be cuttin' the thread
Oh, woe is me My life is a mystery
And, can’t you see
That I’m at the start of a pretty big downer?
Shalalala that ain’t no crime
Shalalala that ain’t no crime
Shalalala that ain’t no crime
It ain’t no crime
Shalalala that ain’t no crime
Shalalala that ain’t no crime
Shalalala that ain’t no crime
It ain’t no crime
Shalala
