living well is the best revenge

R.e.m.

Itââ?¬â?¢s only when your poison spins into the life youââ?¬â?¢d hoped to live
That suddenly you wake up in a shaking panic ââ?¬â?? wow!
You set me up like a lamb to slaughter
Garbo as a farmerââ?¬â?¢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 Iââ?¬â?¢m not one to sit and spin
ââ?¬Ë?Cause living wellââ?¬â?¢s the best revenge
Baby, I am calling you on that

Donââ?¬â?¢t turn your talking points on me, history will set me free
The futureââ?¬â?¢s ours and you donââ?¬â?¢t even read the footnote now!

So whoââ?¬â?¢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 Iââ?¬â?¢m not one to sit and spin
ââ?¬Ë?Cause living wellââ?¬â?¢s the best revenge
Baby, I am calling you on that

You savour your dying breath
Well, I forgive but I donââ?¬â?¢t forget
You work it out, letââ?¬â?¢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 Iââ?¬â?¢m not one to sit and spin
ââ?¬Ë?Cause living wellââ?¬â?¢s the best revenge
Baby, I am calling you on that
Baby, I am calling you on that
Baby, I am calling you on
