[Verse 1] We gathered every Tuesday In fluorescent light Arguing about infinity And how to sleep at night Someone solved the crossword Someone cured despair Someone built a future Nobody wanted there ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Smart enough to map the stars Too lost to know ourselves Brilliant little architects Living on empty shelves ⸻ [Chorus] At the last MENSA meeting Nobody won We solved every puzzle And forgot the sun At the last MENSA meeting We laughed and drank too much Smart enough for anything Not smart enough for love ⸻ [Verse 2] You sat beside the window Reading Jung and Camus Speaking softly of the things Nobody else could do The room grew old around us While the night refused to end And every genius in the building Needed one good friend ⸻ [Bridge] Explosive grunge section. We’re all unfinished theories Searching for a name Trying to outrun The loneliness we made ⸻ [Guitar Solo] Long, melodic, aching. ⸻ [Final Chorus] At the last MENSA meeting We turned off the lights And carried all our questions Into the night
