If she had it to do all over again
It would be a photograph
She would have a wide grin

But no, it was an artist with a longing loving style
So when the paint was dry all that remained was a faint strange smile

She's ripe with broken dreams
Her lov ers never stay
It looks like Mona Lisa is having a bad day
Mona Lisa's having a bad day

"The Book of History
Has many missing pages"
Murmurs the Madonna
Of the Middle Ages
But inbetween her cracks
You can read between the lines
She'd love nothing better than
To rob the Louvre blind

Baroque and complicated
Her lover's never stay
It looks like Mona Lisa
Is having a bad day
Mona Lisa is having a bad day
(So please just go away)
(Just go away)
(Just go away)
