Genius Next Door

Fm                           Bm 
Some said the local lake had been enchanted 
Eb                                G# 
others said it must have been the weather 
Fm                                   Bm 
the neighbors were trying to keep it quiet 
Eb                           G# 
but I swear I could hear the laughter 
Fm                                Bm 
so they jokingly nicknamed it the porridge 
Eb                                               G# 
cause overnight that lake had turned as thick as butter 
F                                 Bm       
but the local kids would still go swimming, drinking 
Eb                             G# 
saying that to them it doesn matter 



            Fm           Bm             Gsus            G# 
if you just hold in your breath til you come back up in full 
Fm           Bm             Gsus                    G# 
hold in your breath til 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 care as long as he was able 
to strip his clothes off by the dumpsters 
at night while everyone was sleeping 
and to wade midway into that porridge 
just him and the secret he was keeping 

hold in your breath til you come back up in full 
hold in your breath til you thought it through, you foolish child 

in the morning the film crews start arriving 
with coffee, donuts, and reporters 
the kids were waking up hungover 
the neighbors were starting up their cars 
the garbagemen were emptying the dumpsters 
atheists were praying full of sarcasm 
and the genius next door was sleeping 
dreaming that the antidote was orgasm 

hold in your breath til you come back up in full 
hold in your breath til you thought it through, you foolish child
