The Genius I Was
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.
Rainmates forever
You and me
Soaked to the skin
Dead waist down, on the evidence
We’re guilty as sin
You dress like a letter delivered to the wrong
Address and name
Scented and a ribboned with a bow
You burst into flame
And what’s inside is not really mine
Help me open up
When we’re outside
We are the tufted race and we just graze
When I think of you it’s as the genius I was
The expert who’s dog did all the work
When x marked the spot
In the field, the fool that I am
Help me open up
I was ploughed
You want me to milk my time
But I just graze
And what’s inside is not really mine
Help me open up
When we’re outside
We are the tufteed race and we just graze
