Boy Genius Lyrics

Boy genius with the big sad eyes



All of the mamas want to take you home



Get what you can, do what you must, be what you have to be



And take that weary highway out alone.







Boy genius, don't you realize



All of the charming yesterdays are gone



And all of the dreams you ever shared came down at last to one,



And that one just told you she was moving on.







 Well you shook up your tomorrows and threw 'em on the table



 But sevens and elevens never showed



 You'll keep right on gambling just as long as you are able



 To make the toss, and take the loss,



 Just waiting for tomorrow to explode.







Boy genius, when the seagull flies



He never flies too very far from land



So go where you wish, take any risk, try all there is to try



Fly back to my waiting outstretched hand







 Well you shook up your tomorrows and threw 'em on the table



 But sevens and elevens never showed.



 And you'll keep right on gambling just as long as you are able



 To make the toss, and take the loss,



 Just waiting for tomorrow to explode.







Boy genius, when a seagull flies



He never flies too very far from land



So go where you wish, take any risk, try all there is to try



Fly back to my waiting, outstretched hand.







I'll be holding out my hand



Fly back to me, honey, if you can
