lyrics

Mona Lisa
Words and Music by Mark Clement Adams (BMI)

Lying on our backs
Watching as the stars
Disappear in lights
Of the passing cars

A thousand chances lost
A dozen secrets hid
Did he break your heart
Did you keep the kid

You look different now
I still want a kiss
But you're worlds away
What did I miss

You could never stop playing with knives
And your nine lives
Mona Lisa

Your sideways smile was shining
Was that pleasure or disgust
Your hand was soft in mine and
We walked home instead of taking the bus

You never wanted me as a lover
You said you thought of me as a brother
And you could never stop messing with knives
And your nine lives
Mona Lisa

I could take you in
I could patch you up
Bring you back to live
Overflow your cup
I could hold you close
I could let you know
You were safe and sound
And never let you go

Give you diamond wings
I could mend your wings
Hold you up so high
I could help you fly

It doesn't change the fact
No Matter how I try
You will never stop messing with knives

You can't help playing with knives
And your nine lives
You can't help playing with knives
And your nine lives
Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa

Your hand was soft in mine
We walked home instead of taking the bus

Mona Lisa

Your hand was soft in mine
We walked home instead of taking the bus

You could never stop playing with knives
And your nine lives
Mona Lisa

Your hand was soft in mine and
We walked home instead of taking the bus

Your hand was soft in mine and
We walked home instead of taking the bus

What did I miss

Your hand was soft in mine and
We walked home instead of taking the bus

You will never stop playing with knives
And your nine lives
Mona Lisa
