It's the swing   It's the swing like a pendulum   It marks the moments as the years go by in an innocent phase   The swing into never, never land      There was a darkness like an old friend   That scratched and crawled up the wall   Into my life, into my destiny   Into my desire      It's the swing   It's the swing like a pendulum   So look behind you when the race has run and the winner is named   The swing into never, never land      There was a darkness like an old friend   That scratched and crawled up the wall   Into my life      Well, it's the swing   Yeah, the swing like a pendulum   Between the pieces and between the lines, there is nothing to hide   The swing into never, never land      There was a darkness like an old friend   That scratched and crawled up the wall   Into my life, into my destiny   Into my desire      It's the swing   It's the swing like a pendulum   It's the swing   It's the swing like a pendulum   It's the swing
