Penduli Pendulum (Live) Bobbie Gentry

[Verse 1]
Penduli, pendulum
Swing around, beat the drum
In July I'll deny
The illusion

[Verse 2]
I'll be gone, beat the drum
There I go, here I come
And goodbye means good try
No conclusion

[Bridge]
Pendulum like perfect rhyme
Always in predicted time
Penduli, when will I learn
Departure means a sure return?

[Verse 3]
Slice the pie, leave a crumb
What have I now become
When a lie is just some
Sad inducement?

[Verse 4]
Stifled cry will become
Just a sigh, so hum-drum
When goodbye serves as my
One amusement
