Well, Tear down the Mona Lisa
Put your picture on the wall
Tell the world you love her
And I'm at your beck and call
And I am the only Mona Lisa and
baby (4x)
that's all (8x)

Baby, I didn't mean you no harm
I just had some fun with some friends
I mean some girls in the city
Don't we get along?
Yeah, don't we get along?
Yeah, don't we get along with our friends in the city?

Lord, I've been praying all day
Just take this pain and give it away
Don't leave no other witnesses
By the grace of God, I'm going to see you in hell
About a Lack -- of -- Communication
Lack of -- Communication
Lack ------ of Communication

Well, Tear down the Mona Lisa
Put your picture on the wall
Tell the world you love her
And you're at her beck and call
I am the only Mona Lisa and
baby (4x)

Put away your cigarettes
And your high class attitude
Turn emotion to devotion
Baby I can see it in you too
We all hail hail from rock and roll
From behind a glass case

We all hail hail from rock and roll
From behind a glass case

Put away your cigarettes
And your high class attitude
Turn emotion to devotion
Baby I can see it in you too
We all hail hail from rock and roll
From behind a glass case

We all hail hail from rock and roll
From behind a glass case

Put away your cigarettes
And your high class attitude
Turn emotion to devotion
Baby I can see it in you too
We all hail hail from rock and roll
From behind a glass case

We all hail hail from rock and roll
From behind a glass case

From behind a glass case

You buried me in a shallow grave
One without no name
You poisoned my rivers
Just to try and keep me tamed
You were my shadow of darkness
Keeping out all the light
You cut off my lifelines, baby, to try and see if I'd fight

Feeling this heartache of mine

I walk around all over town hoping that I'd find the one
But as fate would have it, I know you are the one
So I shed off this shadow to you, hoping that you'd see it, too
And I'll wait and I'll wait for the darkness to come on through


. . .



One lost his way in the fame
The other one with his heart
The last one wasn't that simple
Yeah, You could tell right from the start

He had attitude like the Devil
Lips that speak the truth
He had the soul of an angel
He could see it in her, too
He could see it in her, too

Well, She ain't no Cinderella
And he ain't no flashy king
But if she keeps on treating him right
He's going to make that mockingbird sing
But if she treats him bad
He's going to send her on her way
Making her pay for all his troubles
'til her dying day
'til her dying day

She's going down
She's going down
She's going down
I'll send her on her way

She's going down
She's going down
She's going down
I'll send her on her way

She's going down
She's going down
She's going down
I'll send her on her way

She's going down
She's going down
She's going down
I'll send her on her way

She's going down
She's going down
She's going down
I'll send her on her way

She's going down
She's going down
She's going down
I'll send her on her way

I saw a reflection of a shadow
of a woman I once loved
There stood my faith, my own
reflection, bitterness more often than love
So I bought a gun, took a pill, hung a rope
to reach my love
But I had no bullets, just and aspiring, bitterness

. . .



How can I be down when I ain't been buried yet?
Ah-ooh ah-ooh
I smoke a cigarette, I ain't got no regrets
Ah-ooh ah-ooh
How can I be down when I ain't been buried yet?
Ah-ooh ah-ooh

Making snow angels to the break of dawn
Ah-ooh ah-ooh
Lying with ..... 'cause I don't give a d**n
Ah-ooh ah-ooh
Making snow angels to the break of dawn
Ah-ooh ah-ooh

Me and my brother ain't got no sister
just a bother at home
So we got two bottles of nite train, baby
And now we don't feel alone
Me and my brother ain't got no sister

. . .



I need a hard-headed woman with her
head on straight
'Cause my heart's been broken from too
long a wait

Well, I fear kind of lovin'
No foolish games
I'm feeling California
But's it's so far away

For your lovin'
Real lovin'

I don't need no sugar mama
to pay my bills
I've got twenty dollars just to
fill my thrills

But needing and wanting are two seperate
things
The only difference is you can but all those
things

For a real kind of lovin'
No foolish gamess
I'll move to California
So you're not far away

For your lovin'
Real lovin'

. . .



Yeah, Crying
Yeah, Sleeping
Yeah, Kicking
Yeah, Keeping
All this pain inside of me

There ain't no monetary value, baby
Just heart and soul
Hustle us down to the river, child
Let it take control
Holding on to the chaos scene, Yeah
Pink ribbons and bows
Just stick with the rhythm, child
It'll save your soul

Geraldine, let it take control
Geraldine, let it save your soul

Yeah, Crying
Yeah, Sleeping
Yeah, Kicking
Yeah, Keeping

. . .



I know where your girl was last night
She didn't put up too much of fight
More like a plea for somebody who had some time

Me and her, we were sitting and talking
Just planning on making something
That's about when I told her to rearrange her life

She got pissed and splashed a drink in my face
More like a plea for a more moral case
Why don't you go home and try to be a better wife?

Stemming from a life of seduction
Headed out by a life of precautions

. . .



Do you like the way I walk?
Do you like the way I talk?
Do you like me at all?

I'm your please-please man, baby
So don't ever let me go

I've been sleeping on your doorstep, girl
So don't ever try to come home

Please, please, yes
Please, please, no
I've been sleeping at your door

. . .



I'm a fly on flypaper
You're the rain on the web
Resurrected by demons
All shouting in my head

It's the lifeboat of sanity
A beacon in the dark
Let all hell's fury
Play the rhythm of your heart

It's the sound of terror
It's the sound of terror

It sleeps with the fear
All burrowing under your bed
Waiting for a signal
To bring this nightmare to and end

It's an affair of honor
Taken too far
Let's burn down Saint Peter's
And drive a stake through its heart

It's the sound of terror

. . .



If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh bring it to me
Bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me

Ooh yeah

You know I laughed
When you left
But now i know
I've only hurt myself
Oh bring it to me
Bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'll give you jewelry
And money too
And thats not all
I'll do for you
Oh bring it to me
Bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

You know I'll always be your slave
Until im dead
And buried in my grave
Oh bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh bring it to me
Bring your sweeet lovin'
Bring it on home to me
