mona lisa, standin small
stares a hole right through the wall
into her neighbor's mirror,
she sees her neighbor's fears
of flying softly overhead
with screeching birds and the risen dead
shitting on the cars of drunks hiding in bars
and she says
"i guess that's how the world works now
i guess that's how the world feels now"
mona lisa, feelin strange
eats a live bird from its cage
before it can run, she's got it by the legs
and it's still kicking down the door
with a child's joy and a wild roar
she blasts apart his heart
his deepest, saddest part
and she says
"i guess that's how the world works now
i guess that's how the world feels now"
mona lisa, sittin tall
pulls an ace and waterfalls
until she sees no more
and welcomes the hard floor into her brain
as she slips off the globe
and where she went
nobody knows
except for her and me
except for her and she says
"i guess
i guess"
