LISA
Lisa, don’t be fooled by the liquor
I’m not here to take your picture
You don’t even have to listen to the dumb things I say
Lisa, I’ll only make love to your silence
I’m sorry I can’t be sweeter
Show me the place in the world that sees you sleep, dear Lisa…
Lisa, twenty years old and stitched up
Everything ‘round her speeds up
Making the bed that she’d burn if she could pay for bread
Oh Lisa, your secret is safe with this madman
I’m drunk as the tower of Pisa
I wasn’t born Julius Caesar but I bet my throne that Lisa
Dances when no one sees her
Lisa, sold to the world in the Russian cold
She’d never blink twice
Lisa lived with so many enigmas unresolved
And the more I’m told, the more I want to tease her
Such a night to remember
Lisa penetrated the stigmas in my soul
From the driving snow her love came to release her
That was Lisa
And I was done
Lisa, never afraid of the darkness
The darkness would never cheat her
Everyone here suffers minor desperation
But for Lisa, it’s all a big indigestion
Always replies with a question
You’re driving me mad
But could I lay any blame on you, my Lisa?
Crying when no one sees her
Lisa, thrown to the wall
In the meanest cold hell’s ever seen now
Lisa lived with so many enigmas unresolved
And the more I’m told, the more I want to tease her
Such a night to remember
Lisa penetrated the stigmas in my soul
From the driving snow her love came to release her
That was Lisa
And I was done
You don’t need permission from the Czar
Get outta here before an illness steals your spark
St. Petersburg is on the line
I think you may have to get on the red telephone
Lisa lived with so many enigmas unresolved
And the more I’m told, the more I want to tease her
Such a night to remember
Lisa penetrated the stigmas in my soul
From the driving snow her love came to release her
That was Lisa
And I was done
