^BIt's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now ^A ^BYou had set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer's daughter Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?

I lay right d^Aown Chorus:

^F#All your sad and lost apostles ^Ahum my name and ^Eflare their nostrils F# A A/Ab/G/F# Choking on the bones you tossed to them ^F#now I'm not one to sit and spin because l^Aiving well's the b^Eest revenge ^DBaby, I am c^Aalling you on t^Ehat

Verse:

^BDon't turn your talking points on me. History will set me free The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote no^Aw! ^BSo who's chasing you? Where did you go?

You disappear mid-sentence In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it

You weakened s^Ahill. Chorus:

^F#All your sad and lost apostles ^Ahum my name and f^Elare their nostrils F# A A/Ab/G/F# Choking on the bones you tossed to them ^F#now I'm not one to sit and spin because li^Aving well is the be^Est revenge ^Dand baby, I am ca^Alling you on th^Eat

Verse:

^BYou savor your dying breath I forgive but I don't forget

You work it out, let's hear that argument again

Camera three... GO NOW!^A Chorus:

^F#All your sad and lost apostles ^Ahum my name and fl^Eare their nostrils F# A Ab/G/F# Choking on the bones you tossed to them ^F#now I'm not one to sit and spin because liv^Aing well is the b^Eest revenge ^Dand baby, I am ca^Alling you on th^Eat ^DBaby, I am call^Aing you on th^Eat ^DBaby, I am call^Aing you on th^Eat

^GTurning on the TV and what do I see? A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me – wo^F#w! ^GI’d have thought by now we would be ready to proceed

^GWave the palms, still the arms, fists in the air A motorcade of a night-string(?) shows the people that you care –^F# ow! ^GNature abhors a vacuum but what’s between your ears?

Your judgement cluttered with fearful thoughts

A headlights and a deer – o^F#w!
