Warren Zevon - Genius слова песни
by Warren Zevon and Larry KleinI`ve got a bitter pot of je ne sais quoiGuess what--I`m stirring it with a monkey`s pawSince I saw you coming out of my barber`s shopIn that skimpy little halter topDid you light the candles? Did you put on "Kind of Blue?"Did you use that Ivy League voodoo on him, too?He thinks he`ll be alright but he doesn`t know for sureLike every other unindicted coconspiratorMata Hari had a house in FranceWhere she worked on all her secret plansMen were falling for her sight unseenShe was a geniusThere`s a a face in every window of the Songwriters` NeighborhoodEverybody`s your best friend when you`re doing well--I mean goodThe poet who lived next door when you were young and poorGrew up to be a backstabbing entrepreneurAlbert Einstein was a ladies` manWhile he was working on his universal planHe was making out like Charlie SheenHe was a geniusWhen you dropped me and you staked your claimOn a V.I.P. who could make your nameYou latched on to him and I becameA minor inconvenienceYour protГ©gГ© don`t care about artI`m the one who always told you you were smartYou broke my heart into smithereensAnd that took geniusYou and the barber make a handsome pairGuess what--I never liked the way he cut your hairI didn`t like the way he turned your headBut there`s nothing I can do or say I haven`t done or saidEverybody needs a place to standAnd a method for their schemes and scamsIf I could only get my record cleanI`d be a genius
