Edson Before I Was Smart Lyrics

Before I Was Smart Lyrics

Take me out and make me feel 

 What it's like to be surreal 

 Sticky, stingy, stiff and pale 

 Wonder how I got so quail 

  

 They might save a lie 

 Or a fiendish why 

 In a time where the things we do scare me 

 I preferred to be 

 Stupid and naïve 

 In a time I remember just barely 

 Before I was smart 

  

 On a train to my old town 

 Putting on a scornful frown 

 In this town I used to sing 

 Sing about most anything 

  

 They might save a lie 

 Or a fiendish why 

 In a time wher e the things we do scare me 

 I preferred to be 

 Stupid and naïve 

 In a time I remember just barely 

 Before I was smart
