lyrics

Mona Lisa’s a moaner I know ‘cause I shown her
She’s the hooker with the wandering eye
A Temptress a mistress, to any man with an interest
You’re living but you may as well die
As you head for the door, pick your jaw from the floor
You realize you’re in it again
The last time was the last time, champagne and white wine
Once penniless you’re living a lie
As you make friends with snakes and climb up social ladders
That lead you just short of the heart of the matter
You claim you’re still in it for all the right reasons
But you sway like the leaves in the changing of the seasons
I’m no better than you, you know better than that
You make all your deals in the night
By the light of the moon, it’s over so soon
Hurry home to hold your wife
Who has no idea you’ve been so insincere
You’re not the man she had met
20 years have gone by, can’t look her in the eye
But she keeps her eyes on you
As you make friends with snakes and climb up social ladders
That lead you just short of the heart of the matter
You claim you’re still in it for all the right reasons
But you sway like the leaves in the changing of the seasons
With your iron maiden ideals and your chamber of horrors
Put on your makeup and smile for the town’s star reporter
Speak volumes to the deaf, paint pictures for the blind
Leave the poor in its wake and children behind
Oh time waits for no one, no one but you (x4)
