[00:00.00]Sword of Damocles (Externally) - Lou Reed
[00:38.52]I see The Sword of Damocles
[00:39.94]Is right above your head
[00:46.50]They're trying a new treatment
[00:48.60]To get you out of bed
[00:54.15]But radiation kills both bad and good
[00:56.24]It can not differentiate
[01:02.55]So to cure you they must kill you
[01:04.74]The Sword of Damocles hangs above your head
[01:26.63]Now I have seen lots of people die
[01:28.36]From car crashes or ***
[01:34.58]Last night on 33rd st
[01:36.21]I saw a kid get hit by a bus
[01:42.16]But this drawn out torture over which part of you lives
[01:44.34]Is very hard to take
[01:50.75]To cure you they must kill you
[01:52.55]The Sword of Damocles above your head
[02:14.11]That mix of **** and dexedrine
[02:16.63]We use it on the street
[02:22.14]It kills the pain and keeps you up
[02:24.60]Your very soul to keep
[02:30.21]But this guessing game has its own rules
[02:32.81]The good don't always win
[02:38.68]And might makes right
[02:40.09]The Sword of Damocles is hanging above your head
[02:46.10]It seems everything's done that must be done
[02:48.60]From over here though things don't seem fair
[02:54.18]But there are things that we can't know
[02:56.13]Maybe there's something over there
[03:02.10]Some other world that we don't know about
[03:04.49]I know you hate that mystic s**t
[03:10.05]It's just another way of seeing
[03:12.64]The Sword of Damocles above your head
