lyrics

Mona Lisa in a Comic Book

He's a square peg, in a round hole
but no one would ever know
jams his long legs in the economy row
but you'll never hear him complain

he's a Jaguar in a Chevrolet
he's a jet plane in a double prop
he's a thousand thread count burlap bag
she's the ocean in a paper cup

He's a gold mine in a junkyard
so nobody digs him
she's an elevator on a slippery slope
but nobody's taking a ride

She's the heir to the throne on a Greyhound bus
he's the president of his own four walls
he's a masterwork in a paperback
she's Mona Lisa in a comic book

Chip away, make it fit, hit it a little bit harder
make it fit, chip away, until there's nothing left
pay your respects to the man inside the bottle
he's doing the best that you'll let him

He's a bright light, in a dark room
so nobody turns him on
she's a slow fuse, in a tinder box
but nobody's found a match

he's a big fish in a small pond
has a high IQ and a magic wand
he's a ticket to ride on a slow boat to China
so she doesn't know he's alive

he's an atom bomb in your crackerjacks
she's a waterfall at last call
you can try to give him sugar but he'll send it back
she's a daisy in a parking lot
she's a daisy in a parking lot
Mona Lisa in a comic book

How do you take the image of a black hole and make it positive? According to Alpha Cat, "When I wrote the song I'd read how astronomers had determined that you could escape a black hole, but only by going all the way through and out the other side. And that leads to this worm hole theory, where not only do you avoid annihilation, but you arrive at a place you might never have reached otherwise. ... more
