The Swizz

(Words/Music - Justin Lavash)

Originally recorded on demo album Fits ‘n’ Starts (2008). Recorded in concert for Live in Prague 2

I'm a real high-flyer of some intelligence

I'm uncommonly gifted in common sense

At school they said I was a child prodigy

Ol' Al Einstein got nothing on me

I'm a man of letters

Got a genious mind

Girl, the sun shines out of my behind

Got a PHD, got a high IQ

But God knows girl, I've been a fool for you

God knows girl, I've been a fool for you

Now I don't mess with the Hoi Poloi

I got too much style to be your whipping boy

You pass for class, but no cigar

To me you're just another petite fille a papa

I'm a man of letters (etc.)

Well, you reeled me in a like a fish on a hook

with your little girl smile

and your self-help book

and God knows girl, I towed the line

Walked broken glass just to make you mine

And all those long love letters I wrote

The only thing you read was my horrorscope

It seemed so long I was under your curse

but I was the prick who made the bubble burst

I'm a man of letters (etc.)
