Lyrics
Say goodbye to Mona Lisa, she pretended not to know you
til you turned around
You could try to catch a piece of her reflection in the window
When the sun went down
Every time that I walked by 3 Encinitas Drive I saw her
Looking down at me
I could never understand just who she wore that crooked smile for
Or what it means
And I know, things will never be the same
We let it go, no more passion, just the flames
Say goodbye to Mona Lisa, say addio, miei amici
The time has come
To put the covers on the portraits in the attic
In the gallery, and atrium
Theres a fire burning in the land, right where we stand
Consuming all weve known
So burns the beauty with the beastly
At the feast we sacrifice thee
Flesh and bone
And I know, things will never be the same
We let it go, no more passion, just the flames
Say goodbye to Mona Lisa, Leonardo, Claude and Vincent
Their time has come
No more beauty on the canvas, no more angels
No more warriors and cheribim
All the colors are just fading in to grey
And all the light the world has known
Has been darkened by the dismal plume of smoke
No Starry Night Over the Rhône
And you know, things will never be the same
We let it go, no more passion, just the flames
