lyrics

mona lisa, couched unseemly in your coffin, slowly rotting, who would lift you from the burdens of daughters?
I've been talking with a wistful little birdie of a girl he knew in winter and by summer forgot her

paid for in triplicate, faithless and unintimate
sheltered in the catacombs, tender as an atom bomb
makes for such a hard line for these protoplastic and photographic eyes
after the fallout, you will find us somewhere in between the vagaries and cemeteries

fornarina, where've you been to in your journeys to be burning that very bridge you're stranded on, to be buried in water?
I'll be watching from the window, softly curtained, til our fortune be delivered on the backs of our fathers

paid for in triplicate, faithless and unintimate
sheltered in the catacombs, tender as an atom bomb
makes for such a hard line for these protoplastic and photographic eyes
it's not a problem, it is not a problem anymore
now that we have found our disease

waiting for sunrise
dawning in our eyes
satan's paintbrush coloring the skies of our demise
patiently prodding our paltry hearts

paid for in triplicate, faithless and unintimate
sheltered in the catacombs, tender as an atom bomb
makes for such a hard line for these protoplastic and photographic eyes
we are the product of a misconstrued reality
now that we have found our disease
festering way down in between
the vagaries and cemeteries.
