"This is a song for the genius child
Sing it softly, for the song is wild
Sing it softly as you ever can-
Lest the song get out of hand.
Nobody loves a genius child.
Can you love an eagle?
Tame or wild?
Can you love an eagle
Wild or tame?
Can you love a monster
of frightening name?
Nobody loves a genius child.
Kill him – and let his soul run wild"
Genius Child
