Lyrics
Jack: ''The sword of Damocles is hanging over my head. And I’ve got the feeling someone’s gonna be cutting 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 morning with a start when I fell out of bed. And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnamable dread.''

''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… ''

Jack and the Glee Club: Sha-la-la-la that ain’t no crime…that ain’t no crime… Sha-la-la-la that ain’t no crime…that ain’t no crime…

Kurt and Quinn: ''Rocky Horror, you need peace of mind and I want to tell you that you’re doing just fine. You’re the product of another time…And feeling down…Well that’s no crime…''

Jack: ''The sword of Damocles is hanging over my head. And I’ve got the feeling someone’s gonna be cutting the thread. ''

''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? ''

Jack and the Glee Club: Sha-la-la-la that ain’t no crime…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…that ain’t no crime…
