_______________________________________________

I had three million Mona Lisas made for me

On toilet paper

And every morning I piss off his penny

Ambiguous laughter

It's sweet, it's sweet, it's sweet

Soft, soft, soft

This is how I get my revenge on everyone

Your girls

Who screwed me over with their smiles

Mona Lisa

Go find love somewhere else

My little darlings

I got into a mess with the sou-

Laughter that smiles

Goodbye girls, I'm going to go console myself

In the VCs.

With Leo's pretty doll-

Nard de VC.
