The Sword of Damocles lyrics

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-la, that ain't no crime

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

Sha-la-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

And can't you see

That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer?

Sha-la-la-la-la, that ain't no crime (Oh no no no)

Sha-la-la-la-la, that ain't no crime (Oh no no no)

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

That ain't no crime

Sha-la-la-la-la, that ain't no crime (Oh no no no)

Sha-la-la-la-la, that ain't no crime (Oh no no no)

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

That ain't no crime

Sha-la-la!
