Felt a wave, a (4)________ of blood
You won't be happy 'til the bottle's broken
You're out swimming in the flood
You (5)________ back, you (6)________ unspoken
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art

And I can't help you until you start
You've got a look in your eye when you're saying goodbye

For someone half as smart

You put yourself apart
And I can't help until you start
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
