Album:

Autobiography

She had eyes like crazy diamonds 
And you ran with feet of clay 
they rolled the windows tight as they would go 
It was a smoggy day 
She looked up and asked me if I ever had a lover that I did not betray 
And I turned on the radio and I looked the other way 
She said you're smart, but in a stupid way 


[Chorus] 
And this is the price that you pay 
For being smart in a stupid way 
You stand there staring while you lover walks away 
Being smart, in a stupid way 


The doors they close like eyelids 
The train just pulled away 
Sometimes I smell the perfume that she was wearing that day 
And i wonder if there's anyone that i'll ever love in any way 
Maybe I'll grow up and be good someday 
Maybe this pain I feel will go away 


[Chorus]
And this is the price that you pay 
For being smart in a stupid way 
You stand there staring while you lover walks away 
Being smart, in a stupid way 


So why is my heart so hollow 
Why are my dreams so shallow 
And why don't I ever have anything else to say 
And why is my love so far away 


[Chorus]
And this is the price that you pay 
For being smart in a stupid way 
You stand there staring while you lover walks away 
Being smart, in a stupid way
