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]
