Pendulum Swing

The pendulum swing is a crazy thing, It'll kick you down or it'll make you sing No matter how my ears ring, I need it more I just can't get enough It's like your chemical friend with his Curious trends, the weirdo wig and the spirit cig Saying if the world goes up in flames I don't care I ain't never had enough Because I can feel you falling Through and I said stop right where you are See the pendulum has a violent swing, Like a childhood star and his dying fame Or your once-lovers fizzled flame on a Night when you just couldn't get her off So now the humbled king feels the Painful sting and out you see him covered in A cloak of shame all maimed and lame And way too fucked up to take it off Because I can feel you falling Through and I said stop right where you are Now I can see you falling through and I said stop right where you are You see the pendulum swing is a crazy thing, It'll kick you down or it'll make you sing No matter how my ears ring, I need it more I just can't get enough Oh the pendulum and its violent swing, The wind and hail that bruised your wings So if the world goes up in flames I want to be the one to set it off
