Lyrics

The Pendulum Song
Words and Music Copyright 2007 Steven Hackman

Well the days seem to go by like a pendulum swings
Monday, you're in heaven, but it's hell that Tuesday brings
You can't remember a Wednesday that ever went so wrong
But believe me- believe me- Thursday'll be better- according to this song

Swing out, swing over, swing back
I know you're gonna do it- it's a scientific fact
C'mon pendulum, swing my way
Just like what goes up has got to come down
Once you go out I know you're comin' back around
C'mon pendulum, swing my way
Swing my way

Well the seasons seem to go by like a pendulum swings
Winder's cold and lonely, but you find new love in Spring
Summer- fun in the sun with your loved one, you're havin' a ball
But believe me- believe me- you're in for some hard times, come this Fall

Swing out, swing over, swing back
I know you're gonna do it- it's a scientific fact
C'mon pendulum, swing my way
Just like what goes up has got to come down
Once you go out I know you're comin' back around
C'mon pendulum, swing my way
Swing my way

Well the years seem to go by like a pendulum swings
You just gotta find you're own way of measuring [like this]
Last year, around this time, I had a big old broken heart
But this year- this year- the pendulum brought me a brand new start

Swing out, swing over, swing back
I know you're gonna do it- it's a scientific fact
C'mon pendulum, swing my way
Just like what goes up has got to come down
Once you go out I know you're comin' back around
C'mon pendulum, swing my way
Swing my way
