Testo Genius Next Door - Regina Spektor
Testo della canzone Genius Next Door (Regina Spektor), tratta dall'album Far
Some said the local lake had been enchanted
Others said it must have been the weather
The neighbors were trying to keep it quiet
But I swear that I could hear the laughter
So they jokingly nicknamed it the porridge
'Cause overnight that lake had turned as thick as butter
But the local kids would still go swimming
Drinking
Saying that to them it doesn't matter
If you just hold in your breath
Till you come back up in full
Hold in your breath
Till you thought it through
You fool
The genius next door was bussing tables
Wiping clean the ketchup bottle labels
Getting high and mumbling German fables
Didn't care as long as he was able
To strip his clothes off by the dumpsters
At night while everyone was sleeping
And wade midway into that porridge
Just him and the secret he was keeping
If you just hold in your breath
Till you come back up in full
Hold in your breath
Till you thought it through
You foolish child
In the morning, the film crews start arriving
With doughnuts, coffee, and reporters
The kids were waking up hung over
The neighbors were starting up their cars
The garbage men were emptying the dumpsters
Atheists were praying full of sarcasm
And the genius next door was sleeping
Dreaming that the antidote is orgasm
If you just hold in your breath
Till you come back up in full
Hold in your breath
Till you thought it through
You foolish child
Oh
Oh
Oh, la, lalalalala
Oh
Oh
Oh, la, lalalalala
