Ani Difranco Educated Guess Lyrics

Educated Guess Lyrics

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



I've 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 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



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



I'm calling on the stars above



School is in session

Get your chin off your desk

Now pick up your
pencil

Turn over your test

Use your education 

And take an
educated guess

About me
