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

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

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