"The Mona Lisa's Packing, Leaving Late Tonight" lyrics

"The Mona Lisa's Packing, Leaving Late Tonight"

She might seem dispassionate, but that's not true
She feels much the same as everyone, me and you
But the current atmosphere has proved too much for her
And she's making a decision, do what's right for her

No one knew she was so disturbed
No one knew, she seemed imperturbed
No one knew she was so uptight
The Mona Lisa's packing, leaving late tonight

All the world is agitated, ill at ease
But she always felt she'd rise above all maladies
But it's not become impossible for her to smile
So she's gonna pack a credit card and rack up miles

No one knew she was so disturbed
No one knew, she seemed imperturbed
No one knew she was so uptight
The Mona Lisa's packing, leaving late tonight

I had no idea she could mask her fear
This is one surprise
I can sympathize

No one knew she was so disturbed
No one knew, she seemed imperturbed
No one knew she was so uptight
The Mona Lisa's packing, leaving late tonight

No one knew she was so disturbed
No one knew, she seemed imperturbed
No one knew she was so uptight
The Mona Lisa's packing, leaving late tonight

Where's she going, I can only take a guess
I imagine some old island somewhere, decompress
Where she's far away from all the pain and misery
Hope the island sun don't fade her priceless imagery

No one knew she was so disturbed
No one knew, she seemed imperturbed
No one knew she was so uptight
The Mona Lisa's packing, leaving late tonight

I had no idea she could mask her fear
This is one surprise
I can sympathize

No one knew she was so disturbed
No one knew, she seemed imperturbed
No one knew she was so uptight
The Mona Lisa's packing, leaving late tonight

La la la, la la la, la la la
The Mona Lisa's packing, leaving late tonight
