Sweet Revenge
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fourteen and one half years
You know I was good fortune's slave
Road map on my face
Up to my neck in lucky breaks
Cover your eyes
Don't look now
And durin' all that time
You know I wore this reckless coat
Filled up with matchstick men
And all the bibles that you wrote
Cover your eyes, Don't look now X2
First I'll get even
And then I'll make you proud
Revenge is sweeter
When you can laugh out loud
And from these bitterroots
You know I made a potent shine
One-half kerosene
One-half justice all gone blind
First I'll get even
And then I'll make you proud
Revenge is sweeter
When you can laugh out loud
Swing it low, swing it low
Swing it: sweet revenge X2
Swing it low
Sweet revenge
First I'll get even
And then I'll make you proud
Revenge is sweeter
When you can laugh out loud
Swing it low, swing it low
Swing it: sweet revenge X2
Swing it low
Sweet revenge
