The Genie |
| Is this what you wanted? |
| Did you even think twice? |
| Didn’t they tell you that anything that feels this good |
| Comes with a price |
| It gave you such a rush |
| Now you think you’ve had enough |
| It’s not that easy to walk away |
| This is the hard stuff |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| And everything matters, everything matters |
| Every little thing you do |
| That smoldering tingle under your skin |
| That sweet, delicious, but not-so-original sin |
| And when the world becomes too little or too much |
| The shadow mind contrives |
| The triumph and the tragedy that we invite into our lives |
| And Adam glanced back at the tree |
| As he was leaving |
| Said, «Baby, that’s the price we pay |
| Knowing is grieving» |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| And everything matters, everything matters |
| Everything you say, everything you do |
| And the past comes back to smack you around |
| For all the things you thought you got for free |
| For the arrogance to think that you could somehow |
| Defy the laws of gravity |
| These are lessons in humility |
| Penitence for past offenses |
| Consequences, consequences |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
| You can’t get the genie back in the bottle |
