The pendulum swings,   A fresh start that changes everything.   Erasing the board, the future's in store,   The pendulum swings.      The pendulum swings,   Yes, your life is on a string.   You're suddenly split, between razor and pit,   The pendulum swings.      One day you're treading lightly,   The very next day you're high and mighty.   Woah, the pendulum swings.      The pendulum swings,   Do you wonder what the next day brings?   It clears off the floor, and evens the score,   The pendulum swings.      The pendulum swings.   The pendulum swings.   Ah ha.      The pendulum swings,   Do you wonder when the bell will ring?   Suffer your heart, on the fall of the cards,   The pendulum swings.      The pendulum swings,   It's all over when the lady sings.   You could be a clown, you could be a king.   The pendulum swings.      One day you're treading lightly,   The very next day you're high and mighty.   Woah, the pendulum swings.      Woah, the pendulum swings.   Woah, the pendulum swings.
