Lou Reed - Sword Of Damocles (Externally) Lyrics
I see The Sword of Damocles is right above your headThey're trying a new treatment to get you out of bedBut radiation kills both bad and good, it can not differentiateSo to cure you they must kill youThe Sword of Damocles hangs above your headNow I have seen lots of peoples die from car crashes or drugsLast night on 33rd st. I saw a kid get hit by a busBut this drawn out torture over which part of you lives is very hard to takeTo cure you they must kill youThe Sword of Damocles above your headThat mix of morphine and dexedrine, we use it on the streetIt kills the pain and keeps you up, your very soul to keepBut this guessing game has its own rules, the good don't always winAnd might makes rightThe Sword of Damocles is hanging above your headIt seems everything's done that must be doneFrom over here though things don't seem fairBut there are things that we can't knowMaybe there's something over thereSome other world that we don't know aboutI know you hate that mystic shitIt's just another way of seeingThe Sword of Damocles above your head
