Living Well Is the Best Revenge Songtext
von R.E.M.

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
