Living Well Is The Best Revenge lyrics

It's only when your poison spins

Into the life you'd hope to live

And suddenly you wake up in a shaking panic

Now

You set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer's daughter

Unbelievable, the gospel according to... who?

I lay right down.

All your sad and lost apostles

Hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

Now I'm not one to sit and spin

'Cause living well is the best revenge

Baby, I am calling you on that

Don't turn your talking points on me,

History will set me free

The future's ours and you don't even rate a footnote

Now

So who's chasing you?

Where did you go?

You disappear mid-sentence in a judgement crisis

I see my in and go for it

You weakened shill

All your sad and lost apostles

Hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

Now I'm not one to sit and spin

'Cause living well is the best revenge

Baby, I am calling you on that

You savor your dying breath

I forgive but I don't forget

You work it out

Let's hear that argument again

Camera three... Go, now

All your sad and lost apostles

Hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

Now I'm not one to sit and spin

'Cause living well is the best revenge

Baby, I am calling you on that

Baby, I am calling you on that

Baby, I am calling you on...
