LOOKING FOR A GENIE
words and music by Mary Barry

I’m just looking for a genie
In the bottom of a bottle
Will ya think I’m some kinda meanie
If I lay my soul upon the table
Hey you know the answer
Ain’t in this decanter
But Genie never bothered
To ask me the reason why

Could it be that all this struggle
Is just a battle with the bottle
A journey through the darkness
A craving for the light
Do you think that every guzzle
Is just a juggle with the devil
A dance with a demon
Too late into the night
Hey you know the answer
Ain’t in this decanter
I just got a bad case of the blues

I’m always looking, always yearning
Feel I’m shrinking but I know I’m learning
I can feel the changes happening
Everyday in everyway
I’m a loner and a dreamer, a lover, a believer
I just got a bad case of the blues

I’m just looking for a rainbow
At the end of a rainstorm
A poem written on a tissue
In a deserted railroad station
Hey you know the answer
Ain’t in this decanter
But Genie never bothered
To tell me the reason why
