Looks like my crazy family
Is down one crazy daughter 'cause
I'm shipwrecked in a desert that
Once was underwater justLooking for a swift turn of phrase
Some colors to fly
As I float by
In the paradePlus I dream in skin scented sentences
Of a stronger faster fiercer you
And to each noun, verb and predicate
I dedicate a vivid hueBut you ain't done too well
Getting past your permanent pastel
Have you now?
Yes, the desert seemed so promising
And then it paled somehowSo school is in session
Get your chin off your desk
Now pick up your pencil
And turn over your testUse your education
And take an educated guess
About meI've got a slot at eye level like
A speakeasy door
And I know you know the password
'Cause I've seen you here beforeAnd 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 watch me while I take this curveYes school is in session
Get your chin off your desk
Now pick up your pencil
And turn over your testUse your education
And take an educated guess
About mePlus 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 themAnd I'm learning how to say
That I'd be happy either way
With your loveI'm calling on the stars aboveSchool is in session
Get your chin off your desk
Now pick up your pencil
Turn over your testUse your education
And take an educated guess
About me
