Bullies On Vacation

The Verve Pipe

A bully enjoying his vacation 
Oblivious to all our confrontations 
Speaking fondly of his junior years 
When I was fighting tears 
A bully enjoying his vacation 

I can taste the anger and the hate 
I have come to set the record straight 
Twenty years seems long enough to wait 
A bully enjoying his vacation 

Cruising with my nemesis on high seas 
Five drinks, he doesn't recognize me 
Full of anticipation 
I don't notice his depression 
Cruising with my nemesis on high seas 

My act of concern is just to tease 
I'm about to send him to his knees 
So close to force him begging please 
He mentions terminal disease 
A bully enjoying his vacation 

And how he feels someone is dangling 
His vile existence on a string 
And now the sea he's conquering 
Knows he can conquer anything 
A bully enjoying his vacation 

Aware of his terminal condition 
Frustrated by my indecision 
Knowing I'd regret this very day 
I hit him anyway 
Aware of his terminal condition 

Once again, he got the best of me 
I left him conquering the sea 
A bully enjoying his vacation
