The Sword of Damocles
[ROCKY (Chorus)]
WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

The Sword of Damocles is hangin' over my head
And I've gotta feelin' someone's gonna be cuttin' the thread!

Oh, woe is me
My life is a misery!
Oh, can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer?

I woke up this mornin' with a start when I fell out of bed
(That ain't no crime!)
And left from my dreamin', was a feelin' of unnameable dread!
(That ain't no crime!)

My high is low
I'm dressed up with no place to go
And all I know
Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer!

[ROCKY & Chorus]
That ain't no crime!
That ain't no crime!
That ain't no crime!
That ain't no
Crime!
[NARRATOR]
Rocky Horror, you need peace of mind
I want to tell you that you're doing just finе
You're the product of another timе
So feeling low, well that's no crime!

[Chorus]
That ain't no crime!

[ROCKY (Chorus)]
The Sword of Damocles is hangin' over my head
(That ain't no crime!)
And I've gotta feelin' someone's gonna be cuttin' the thread!
(That ain't no crime!)

Oh, woe is me
My life is a mystery!
Oh, can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer?

[Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la, that ain't no crime!
Sha-la-la-la, that ain't no crime!
Sha-la-la-la, that ain't no crime!
That ain't no
Crime!
Sha-la-la-la, that ain't no crime!
Sha-la-la-la, that ain't no crime!
Sha-la-la-la, that ain't no crime!
That ain't no
Crime!

Sha-la-la-la, that ain't no crime!
Sha-la-la-la, that ain't no crime!
Sha-la-la-la, that ain't no crime!
That ain't no
Crime!

SHA-LA-LA!
