Educated Guess Lyrics - Educated Guess - Ani Difranco

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
