Educated Guess

Looks like my crazy family is down one crazy daughter
'Cause I'm shipwrecked in a 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?

Yes, the desert seemed so promising
And then it paled somehow

So 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

I got a slot at eye level like a speakeasy door
And I know you know the password 'cause I've seen you here before
And I've got something sweet for you and I don't care if it is
More than you deserve

I've got a lot of love and a lot of nerve
So, baby, watch me while I take this curve

Yes 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 whenever I'm in reach of them
And I'm learning how to say that I'd be happy either way
With your love

If I'm calling on the stars above

So 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
