Little Mona Lisa - Mick McAuley

I think she got what she wanted Waited a week before she even responded We had a couple friends in common when I met her Wasn't worried, but I should've been I think she knew what she was doing getting into my car Outside Amoeba Music or the standard bar Independent when I met her Now she's my only medicine When it gets quiet, I can hear her mind race She's staring at the ceiling like she's seeing outer space She could be the Mona Lisa if the Mona Lisa had a prettier face This could be Heaven if Heaven was an actual place (For the record) This is not what I wanted I wanted my heart to remain in my pocket She took it out and wrote her name right on it And now I'm only borrowing How come every time I leave,I can't breathe as deep? I'm always staying on the call while she falls asleep Might call it codependency, look at me Freezing while she's showering When it gets quiet, I can hear her mind race She's staring at the ceiling like she's seeing outer space She could be the Mona Lisa if the Mona Lisa had a prettier face This could be Heaven if Heaven was an actual place When it gets quiet, I can hear her mind race She's staring at the ceiling like she's seeing outer space She could be the Mona Lisa if the Mona Lisa had a prettier face This could be Heaven if Heaven was an actual place

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you You're so like the lady with the mystic smile Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you? For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile? Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa? Or is this your way to hide a broken heart? Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep They just lie there and they die there Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa? Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art? Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa? Or is this your way to hide a broken heart? Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep They just lie there and they die there Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa? Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art? Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

I've always played the part of Shakespeare I hide behind the ink and pen I build up worlds and choose a savior (savior, savior) I write beginning, middle, end I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf Tired of stories for somebody else Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter I've been looking for some way to turn it around Looking for someone to give me the crown I wanna feel like I finally matter I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah And I always had the words, but I don't wanna say it Wish I could paint a smile on my face I wanna be a Mona Lisa So is there anybody out there Who could change my point of view? The way that Van Gogh uses yellow or the self in Frida Kahlo I could be that for you I'm so tired of being a book on the shelf Tired of stories for somebody else Think that I'm ready to start a new chapter (think I'm ready, baby) I've been looking for some way to turn it around Looking for someone to give me the crown I wanna feel like I finally matter I wanna be a Mona Lisa, ah-ah (I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby) The kind of girl that you can dream of, ah-ah (the kinda girl that you can dream of maybe) And I always had the words but I don't wanna say it Wish I could paint a smile on my face I wanna be a Mona Lisa I think I'm ready for my close-up, baby There's nothing left to do, and nothing left to lose Let me be your muse (ah-ah) Ah-ah, I wanna be a Mona Lisa, baby, ah-ah Ah-ah, the kinda girl that you can dream of And I always had the words, but I don't wanna say it Wish I could paint a smile on my face I wanna be a Mona Lisa (ah-ah-ah) ah-ah
