The Best revenge
the best revenge
is a spanish swim in phosphorescent sea
as the wild blue yonder shrieks repeatedly
speaks another mother-tongue to a young runaway
the best revenge
is a dirt path cut through tangled jungle ways
that leads you to the old volcano
which spews sulphur fumes & precious clouds of hell-fire
oh it's the sweetest smell desire
the best revenge, the best revenge
is sipping cocktails on the deck
as the sun sets on the civilized world
& the ice melts on the poles
oh the condensation soothes your weary hands
the best revenge
a thunderstorm breaks on 4th avenue
she's caught by mistake in that pretty french dress
she's a drenched mess he opens the door with a clenched yes
the best revenge
is in the smiles of an unspoiled child
turning cartwheels on the grass
sometimes he messes up & lands flat on his ass
but he don't start crying he don't stop trying
but he don't start crying he don't stop trying
but he don't start crying he don't stop trying
the best revenge, the best revenge
