Oh, I just figured this out listening to the song, and I believe that it's also supposed to be "I'll get smaller / With every swallow" rather than "I'll get smarter". Upon first reading through the lyrics, that made no sense to me what-so-ever. I just read through them again and couldn't recall hearing that line, which is because I've even been hearing it as "smaller". I even listened to that line over and over again, and the conclusion I've come to is that it does even sound more like "smaller", although the middle of the word is kind of quite and hard to discern. When the song is about the "Drink me" bottle in Alice in Wonderland, I think it would follow that the singer gets smaller with each swallow, as that's what the "Drink me" potion in Alice in Wonderland does.
