Píseň: Living Well Is the Best Revenge

Interpret:
R.E.M.
Album:
Accelerate
It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live 
That suddenly you wake up in a shaking panic - wow! 
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 toss to them 
Well I'm not one to sit and spin 
'Cause living well's 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 read the footnote now! 
So who's chasing you? Where did you go? 
You disappeared mid-sentence 
In a judgement crisis I see my anecdote for it 
You weakened shell. 


All your sad and lost apostles hum my name and flare their nostrils 
Choking on the bones you toss to them 
Well I'm not one to sit and spin 
'Cause living well's the best revenge 
Baby, I am calling you on that 


You savour your dying breath 
Well, 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 toss to them 
Well I'm not one to sit and spin 
'Cause living well's the best revenge 
Baby, I am calling you on that 
Baby, I am calling you on that 
Baby, I am calling you on
