《Sword of Damocles(Externally)》歌词

[00:00:00] Sword of Damocles(Externally) - Lou Reed (卢·里德)

[00:00:38] I see The Sword of Damocles

[00:00:39] Is right above your head

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

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

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

[00:00:56] It can not differentiate

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

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

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

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

[00:01:34] Last night on 33rd st

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:38] And might makes right

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:10] It's just another way of seeing

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