Mona, you have done it now, you've gone and shown exactly how |
|
You never knew the process just to keep your brainwaves straight |
|
Our life was not extravagant, but hey we always paid the rent |
|
And went to church on Sunday when we didn't sleep to late |
|
But now you need a little color and your paint is fading under |
|
All the lights that shine around you every day |
|
Put your pennies in a tray Save them for a rainy day And it's off you go and on your way Goodbye to Mona Lisa |
|
Every time I try to speak, your face grows tired your hands get weak |
|
And then you look at me like I'm a thousand miles away |
|
Your eyes are always fixed on me, but somehow you just never see |
|
The man I'm trying hard to be, the freak that I portray |
|
But now you've got four walls surrounding and the frame is really sounding |
|
Like a prison where the guards have gone astray |
|
Chorus |
|
Though I try to disavow, if DaVinici could just see you now |
|
He wouldn't know the woman who is standing by my door |
|
Take your pennies from the tray cuz here it is, your rainy day |
|
And now it's just this painting who is staring back at me |
|
And it's not as if you've asked it, but I've finally unmasked it |
|
And there's nothing underneath your surface but an empty canvas |
|
Chorus |
