Book Smart, Street Stupid Lyrics - Sarah Slean - Sarah Slean

I was born by an old streetlight 

Where the men lean out of their windows at night 

And I was a lead in the orphan choir 

And I sang with all my might 

Until I grew up too high 

Then, oh, all the notes I used to play 

On the double bass and the B-list ballet 

With only the night bugs to lead me home 

With their sad luck serenade 

The rain was never ending 

The sadness in my heart 

Would light 

And glow in the dark?

This will never change 

Time just wears a prettier face 

I'm book smart 

Street stupid 

So, don't look for me in confession booth 

I'm with my paints, and my pens, and my dry vermouth 

Trying to uncover some small truth 

With these cards close to my chest 

The rain still never ending 

The sadness in my heart 

Would light 

And glow in the dark 

Oh this time will never change 

Time just wears a prettier face 

I'm book smart 

Street stupid

The rain still never ending 

The wonder in my heart 

Still ights and glows in 

It still lights and glows in 

The dark
