《Sword of Damocles(Externally)》歌词

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

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

[00:00:40] 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 peoples die

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

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

[00:01:35] 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

[00:02:13] 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 it's own rules

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

[00:02:38] And might makes right

[00:02:39] The sword of Damocles is hanging above your head

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

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

[00:02:53] But there are things that we can't know

[00:02:55] Maybe there's something over there

[00:03:01] 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
