Lyrics

Mona Lisa
CAGE
My mother always told me I would never grow old
By the time I was ten I’d been bought and then sold
I had to learn fast, had to learn how to kill
Then she came over me and left me no will

She’s a Mona
Mona Lisa

She taught me how to cheat, she taught me how to lie
How to be indiscreet, how to cast the evil eye
She had her way with me and I was glad to be her toy
She showed me how to be a man when I was a boy

She’s a Mona
Mona Lisa

She took me everywhere, all over the world
From the Solomon Isles to Porto-Novo
Every crap game in every den of thieves
She always thought it better to take than receive

She’s a Mona
Mona Lisa

And now her spirit’s with me all of the time
Watching over me with a twinkle in her eye
She was the kind of woman who can do you no good
But I wouldn’t forget her even if I could

She’s a Mona
Mona Lisa
