Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there´s a party
Here it´s never ending, can´t remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade, there´ll be plenty enough room in jail

If being wrong´s a crime, I´m serving forever
If being strong´s your kind, then I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin´ party down the line

Pound the prairie pavement, losing proposition
Quitting school and going to work and never going fishing
Water all around, I never learned how to swim now

If being wrong´s a crime, I´m serving forever
If being strong´s your kind, then I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin´ party down the line
At the swingin´ party down the line

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there´s a party
Here it´s never ending, can´t remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade, there´ll be plenty enough room in jail

If being wrong´s a crime, I´m serving forever
If being strong is what you want, then I need help here with this feather
If being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin´ party down the line
At the swingin´ party down the line
