    It's only when your poison spreads
    Into the life you hope to live
    And suddenly you wake up
    In a shaking panic, now

    You set me up like a lamb to slaughter
    Garbo ask the farmer's daughter
    Unbelievable the gospel according to who
    I lay right down

    All you sad and lost apostles
    Hum my name and flair their nostrils
    Choking on the bones you toss to them

    I'm not one to sit and spin
    'Cos living well is the best revenge
    Baby, I am calling you on that

    Try turn your talking points on me
    History will set me free
    The future's ours and you don't even read
    The footnote now

    So who's chasing me
    Where did you go

    You disappear mid sentence sinner
    In a judgment crisis I see my anecdote fall out
    You weakened shell

    All you sad and lost apostles
    Hum my name and flair their nostrils
    Choking on the bones you toss to them

    I'm not one to sit and spin
    'Cos living well's the best revenge
    Baby, I am calling you on that

    You say it with your dying breath
    Well I forgive but I don't forget
    You work it out, let's hear that argument
    Count the count of three go, now

    All you sad and lost apostles
    Hum my name and flair their nostrils
    Choking on the bones you toss to them

    Well I'm not one to sit and spin
    'Cos living well is the best revenge
    Baby, I am calling you on that

    Baby, I am calling you on that
    Baby, I'm calling you on, oh
    (Baby, I'm calling you)
