Revenge Songtext
von Patti Smith

I feel upset
Let′s do some celebrating
Come on, honey
Don't hesitate now

I needed you, you withdrew
I was so forsaken
Oh now, the tables have turned, my move
I believe I′ll be taking my revenge

Sweet revenge

I thought you were some perfect readout
Some digital delay had obscured
And phased my view
Of the wicked hand you played

All the sands and hands of time have run out, run out
Oh, you better face it
Oh, this thing's run amok this luck
I do know how to replace it with revenge

Oh, sweet revenge


I gave you a wristwatch, baby
You wouldn't even give me the time of day
Ah, you want to know what makes me tick
Now, it′s me that′s got precious little to say

For the ghosts of our love have dried, have died
There's no use faking it
All the spirits gonna close in on you tonight
High time, I was taking my revenge

Sweet revenge
Revenge
Revenge

All the gold and silver
Couldn′t measure up my love for you, it's so immaterial
I wouldn′t wait around if I was you
Nah, this ain't the way for ting-ting, nobody gets anything

Nobody gets nothing, nah, no time for kisses
Don′t leave me no space in your little boat
You ain't gonna need, no, you ain't gonna need no little boat
You are living on my time, my dear

Revenge
Sweet revenge
Sweet, sweet revenge

Sweet revenge
