Lyrics

Pendulum

[Verse 1]

Can't know what's high 'til you been down so low

The future's bright, lit up with nowhere to go

[Chorus]

To and fro the pendulum throws

[Refrain 1]

We are here and then we go

My shadow left me long ago

[Verse 2]

Understand what we don't know

This might pass, this might last, this may grow

[Refrain 2]

Easy come and easy go

Easy left me a long time ago

[Refrain 3]

I'm in the fire, but I'm still cold

Nothing works, works for me anymore

[Interlude]

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]

(To and fro the pendulum throws)

To and fro the pendulum throws

[Outro]

(To and fro, to and fro)

To and fro, to and fro
