lyrics
Genious
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2012)
I don’t want a bird to fly out until the sun’s up
I don’t want to find out
I don’t want to come to find out
I don’t want to come to find out until the what’s what
Don’t ask me no pointed questions
Lead me away or pull me aside
You know you are a lollypop, lollypop
Don’t ask me to explain why
There’s (sic) pockmarks on your cellphone
I don’t want to find out
I don’t want to come to find out
I don’t want to come to find out until the what’s what
I don’t want a bird to fly out until the sun’s up
So don’t ask me no pointed questions
Climb my tree and sell me a smile
You know you are a lollypop, lollypop
Shallow end and plastic slide
Don’t ask me no pointed questions
Don’t ask me what books to read
I ain’t a school to question-session
Just pop your wheelies and believe
But you believe in Santa Claus
