Girl Genius Lyrics

Your town is full of goblins, crooks and murder
Your mother thinks you'll love the next door neighbour
Your record player speaks to you all evening
While she's downstairs smashing things
As she's cleaning

Oh to be you
Still you're a genius girl
Through and through

In summer you dress up in winter's clothing
Your school yard's not a place you like frequenting
Your father's disappeared and someone's pushed by
When they ask, are you okay?
Well what's it look like

Just look at you
Still you're a genius girl
Through and through

And every year rolls past
Just like a clock
You never see it move
But you never see it stop

And you could always be alone now
Maybe you could take a trek sometime
But we'll watch over you
We always do, cos you're a genius girl
Through and through

Are you okay?
What's come over you?
All this crashing buses and stealing cars
While your peers are asleep
And is it a play only you attend?
Like some girl genius

And you will always be alone now
Maybe you should take the trek sometime
