Black Mona Lisa Lyrics

Black Mona Lisa lyrics

But oh I am not afraid



To be a lone bohemian



I can paint a portrait of myself



I will call me a black Mona Lisa



Mona Lisa



Come to discover - I am your daughter



The sky above me is silent and empty



I am an island



A little freak of melancholy



But these hands



They unbead your rosary of wisdom







Bewitched, spellbound I'm found



And returned from superstition



You are my martyr



I'm a vestige of a revolution



My alma, my mater



And now I can let go



My old addictive solutions







CHORUS







I used to be a connoisseur



Of hate, self hate, paternal hate



Hate cum gratis



I connected every kind







Sipping it like red wine



The insecurity was mine



The ties that bind were



My design







But oh I am not afraid



To be a lone bohemian







The sun is still unkind



To those like you and me



Seekers of sanctuary



Though I'm not afraid



I'm sanctified and fortified



Because you sacrified



I can call myself Mona Lisa



Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, 



Men have adored you
