lyrics

THE BEST REVENGE

It's the wrapping on the floor.
After all the gifts are opened
that's what you ignore.
How could you resist all the bright colors?

It's the tilting at windmills part.
I saw it in your eyes and it scared me from the start.
How could I resist all the bright colors?
The best revenge is to pick myself back up again.

How does it feel to be the one
who switches channels in the middle of a transmission?
It's gotta hurt. Hurt a whole lot.
When lonely memories are the only thing you've got.
How does it feel to be the one
who loses interest in the middle of a conversation?
It wasn't rude but it was careless
to waste those five years
with your boredom and your tears

and the clank clank clank of your machinery
stamping out domes of happy snow globe scenery.
I believe the best revenge is to pick myself back up again.

It's the clothing on the floor.
After all the sex is over
that's what you ignore.
How could you resist all the bright colors?
The best revenge is to pick myself back up again.
