The Ballad Of Mona Lisa Lyrics

She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
And takes a moment to assess the sin she's paid for

A lonely speaker in a conversation
Her words are swimming through his ears again
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you paid for

Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe

Whoa oh oh oh oh, Mona Lisa
You're guaranteed to run this town
Whoa oh oh oh oh, Mona Lisa
I'd pay to see you frown

He senses something, call it desperation
Another dollar, another day
And if she had the proper words to say
She would tell him
But she'd have nothing left to sell him

Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe

Whoa oh oh oh oh, Mona Lisa
You're guaranteed to run this town
Whoa oh oh oh oh, Mona Lisa
I'd pay to see you frown

Mona Lisa, wear me out
I'm pleased to please ya
Mona Lisa, wear me out

Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe

Whoa oh oh oh oh, Mona Lisa
You're guaranteed to run this town
Whoa oh oh oh oh, Mona Lisa
I'd pay to see you frown

Say what you mean, tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign, I wanna believe

There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you paid for

What is the Meaning of The Ballad Of Mona Lisa?

Ah, the enigmatic smile of our dear Mona isn't just for Da Vinci anymore! "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" by Panic! at the Disco spins a modern yarn about a femme fatale wrapped in mystery and perhaps, a touch of mischief. With her gin-tinted whispers and lucrative secrets, this Mona Lisa is a master at running the town under everyone's noses. The song cleverly dances around themes of deception, desire, and the hefty price one pays for indulgence. It's an anthem for those who charm with a smile but lead with an iron fist - all while asking us to ponder whether we're merely spectators or willing participants in her artful game. So next time you're out there making deals or breaking hearts, ask yourself: are you being played by another Mona Lisa?
