spite

by Bimpé

I will live your dream

I will live your dream so well

I will live your dream better than you

I will live your dream like it was my own dream

I will live your dream so good

you may want to re-think your dream

you might want to pick a new one, that’s

how good I will live your dream,

I’ll live it like it was never yours

I will live it better than you could have dreamed

that’s how good I will live your dream.
