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

Oh to be you because you're a genius girl through and through

In summer time you dress us in winter clothing
Your school-yards not a place you like frequenting
Your fathers disappeared on someone's push bike when they
Ask you "are you ok?"

Well what's it look like?
Just look at you still you're a genius girl through and through
And every year goes past just like a clock
You never see it stop

And you could always be alone now maybe
You should take a trek
Sometime but we'll watch over you
We always do because you're a genius girl through and through

Are you ok? What's come over you all this
Crashing buses and stealing cars while your peers are asleep
Or is it a play only you attend like some girl genius

And you could will always be alone now maybe
You should take the trek sometime
