Educated Guess

it looks like my crazy family
is down one crazy daughter 'cause
i'm shipwrecked in the desert that
once was underwater just
looking for a swift turn of phrase
some colors to fly
as i float by
in the parade

plus i dream in skin scented sentences
of a stronger, faster, fiercer you
and to each noun verb and predicate
i dedicate a vivid hue
but you ain't done too well getting past your permanent pastel
have you now
the desert seems so promising
and then it pales and somehow

so school is in session
get your chin off your desk
and pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me
about me

i got a spot at eye-level like
a speak-easy door and i
i know you know the password
'cause i seen you here before and i
i got something sweet for you
and i don't care if it is more than
you deserve

i got a lot of love
and a lot of nerve
so baby watch me while i take this curve

yeah school is in session
get your chin off your desk
now pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me
about me

plus i have this whole new family
and i'm in love with each of them
and i'm on this list called lucky when
ever i'm in reach of them
that i'd be happy either way
with your love
yes i'm calling on the stars above

so school is in session
get your chin off your desk
and pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me
about me
