Lyrics

Pretty Genius

Feel the miracle every day

Count the numbers, fill the cup

Every move in every way

Every move is built from love

Go find your brightest colours

Tear all your curtains down

Don't hide beneath the covers

Don't sit around, don't face the ground

Pretty genius

You could lose your little mind

Never knowing what to find

You could lose your little mind

Staring blind into the light

Go find your brightest colors

Tear all your curtains down

Take heed of diet mothers

Don't sit around, don't face the ground

Pretty genius
