lyrics

My Sweet Revenge

You said there was no room for me
That a pawn can’t play the king
You said I was another harmless fool
But you forgot that fate is cruel
Cause the tide is changing now
And the waves are rolling back
And I’ve tied myself to a comet’s tail
To scratch the sky with my fingernails

And I’ll be laughing, singing, hopping
Tap dancing on your roof
Yes I’ll be laughing, singing, glowing
Swinging on the crescent moon
Cause she knows, she knows
She knows, she knows…

Now gone are all those voodoo nights
With all those pictures and that hungry fire
Still I’m gonna catch you by surprise
And you’re gonna swallow that idiot smile

Cause I’ve got a plan, it’s a perfect plan
Just go and ask the moon
I’ve got a plan, and it’s all worked out
Just go and ask the moon
Cause she knows, she knows
She knows, she knows…

And I’m gonna dive into my silence
Yes I’m gonna dive into my silence…

Time is an accordion in my hands
The stars are pieces of a chess set
And in my mouth heaven melts
With the taste of my sweet revenge
