Sword Of Damocles (Externally) - Lou Reed[00:00:00]

I see the sword of Damocles[00:00:38]

Is right above your head[00:00:40]

They're trying a new treatment[00:00:46]

To get you out of bed[00:00:48]

But radiation kills both bad and good[00:00:54]

It can not differentiate[00:00:56]

So to cure you they must kill you[00:01:02]

The sword of Damocles hangs above your head[00:01:04]

Now I have seen lots of peoples die[00:01:26]

From car crashes or drugs[00:01:28]

Last night on thirty third street[00:01:34]

I saw a kid get hit by a bus[00:01:36]

But this drawn out torture over which part of you lives[00:01:42]

Is very hard to take[00:01:44]

To cure you they must kill you[00:01:50]

The sword of Damocles above your head[00:01:52]

That mix of morphine and Dexedrine[00:02:14]

We use it on the street[00:02:16]

It kills the pain and keeps you up[00:02:22]

Your very soul to keep[00:02:24]

But this guessing game has its own rules[00:02:30]

The good don't always win[00:02:32]

And might makes right[00:02:38]

The sword of Damocles is hanging above your head[00:02:40]

It seems every thing's done that must be done[00:02:46]

From over here though things don't seem fair[00:02:48]

But there are things that we can't know[00:02:54]

Maybe there's something over there[00:02:56]

Some other world that we don't know about[00:03:02]

I know you hate that mystic shit[00:03:04]

It's just another way of seeing[00:03:09]

The sword of Damocles above your head[00:03:12]
