Songtext von Boy Genius

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
