Lyrics Patti Smith

Patti Smith

Revenge

I feel upset

Let's do some celebrating

Come on honey

Don't hesitate now

Needed you, you withdrew

I was so forsaken

Ah, but now the tables have turned, my move

I believe I'll be taking my revenge

Sweet revenge

I thought you were some perfect read-out

Some digital delay had obscured

And it secured phased my view

Of the wicked hand you played

Ah, the sands and hands of time have run out

Run out, ah you better face it

Ah, 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

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

Ah, 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 won't wait around if I was you you

[?] nobody gets anything

Nobody gets nothing

No [?], 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
