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 your treading lightly
   The very next day your high and mighty
   Uh ho oh
   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
   Uh ho oh
  
   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
   Could be a clown
   You could be a king
  
  
   One day your treading lightly
   The very next day your high and mighty
   Uh ho oh
   The pendulum swings
  
   Uh ho oh
   The pendulum swings
  
   Uh ho oh
   The pendulum swings
