paroles de chanson Sweet Revenge - John Prine

I got kicked off of Noah's Ark
I turn my cheek to unkind remarks
There was two of everything
But one of me

And when the rains came tumbling down
I held my breath, and I stood my ground
And I watched that ship go sailing
Out to sea

Take it back
Take it back
Oh no, you can't say that
All of my friends
Are now dead or in jail

Through rock and through stone
The black wind still moans
Sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
Without fail

I caught an aisle seat on a plane
And drove an English teacher half insane
Making up jokes about bicycle spokes
And red balloons

So I called up my local deejay
And he didn't have a lot to say
But the radio
Has learned all of my favorite tunes

Take it back
Take it back
Oh no, you can't say that
All of my friends
Are now dead or in jail

Through rock and through stone
The black wind still moans
Sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
Without fail

The white meat is on the run (run)
And the dark meat is far too done (done)
And the milkman left me a note yesterday (yesterday)

Get out of this town by noon (get out)
You're coming on way too soon (right now)
And besides that
We never liked you any way

Take it back
Take it back
Oh no, you can't say that
All of my friends
Are now dead or in jail

Through rock and through stone
The black wind still moans
Sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
Without fail

Sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
Will prevail
Without fail
