Frank McComb - Mona Lisas (And Mad Hatters) lyrics

And now I know spanish Harlem are not just
Pretty words to say i thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees
Never grow in New York City

Until you've seen this trash
Can dream come true
You stand at the edge while
People run you through
And I thank the Lord there's
People out there like you
I thank the Lord there's people
Out there like you

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light

My brother's got a lot
A lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in
I'll go my way alone grow my own
My own seeds shall be sown in New York City

Subway's no way for a good man to go down
Rich man rides but the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for
The people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light

In a city of bright lights and fright nights
Where the strong survive and
The weak take flight
And you either stand up or get beat down
In New York City

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Yeah, mona mona mona mona lisa
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
