Lyrics
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
