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 down

Sha la la la that ain't no crime
(Oh no no no)
Sha la la la that ain't no crime
(Oh no no no)
Sha 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 that ain't no crime
(Oh no no no)
Sha la la la that ain't no crime
(Oh no no no)
Sha la la la that ain't no crime
That ain't no crime

Sha la la la that ain't no crime
(Oh no no no)
Sha la la la that ain't no crime
(Oh no no no)
Sha la la la that ain't no crime
That ain't no crime
Sha la la
