“Mona Lisa” is an ode to the elusive nature of love and the destructive power of desire. An encounter with a mystical, evasive muse leaves the protagonist enchanted and obsessed. The further he seeks to know and possess the muse, the more lost he becomes.
Lyrics
V1 It was one of those days I was waiting for dusk, I met a little singer and she had me sussed. Could tell by her fingers, her shadowy eyes, she was gonna love me and she knew my lies. But I need her, Mona Lisa, she’s gonna love you and leave you. But I need her. V2 She shot me a glance the damage was done, she had a lot of magic and she sent me some. I took her to the ocean skimming a stone, held her in my arms, she was always, always alone. Mona Lisa, said I need you, but I need her. PRE- I ran across the country in the back of a van, I met with her daddy and I asked for her hand, It’s been ten years since I felt like a man, but now I feel like a boy. CHORUS Whoo hoo V3 I stole a few years I locked her away, my genie in a bottle caught a plane they say. And now she lies folded in my old notebook, she could be on your shoulder if you ever dare to look. Mona Lisa, I tell you you’re gonna need her, she’s gonnna leave you. V4 It was one of those days I was waiting for dusk, I met a little singer and she had me sussed. Could tell by her fingers, her shadowy eyes, she was gonna love me and she knew my lies. But I need her, Mona lisa, she’s gonna love you and leave you. PRE- I ran across the country in the back of a van, I met with her daddy and I asked for her hand, It’s been ten years since I felt like a man, but now I feel like a boy. CHORUS Whoo hoo
