《The Ballad of The Dime Store Greaser and The Blonde Mona Lisa》歌词

[00:00:02] The Ballad of The Dime Store Greaser and The Blonde Mona Lisa - Blue Rodeo

[00:00:07] As the seconds are ticking

[00:00:09] In the corner of her eye

[00:00:11] Nothing comes as fast

[00:00:12] As a glib reply

[00:00:14] Like a kid who's tired

[00:00:16] Of a busted old toy

[00:00:18] The pleasure's worn thin

[00:00:20] So she makes a little extra noise

[00:00:29] So the dime store greaser

[00:00:31] And the blonde Mona Lisa

[00:00:33] Twist on smiles

[00:00:34] Just to please each other

[00:00:36] Until one of them

[00:00:38] Finds that someone new

[00:00:40] Well the other one

[00:00:42] Is just going to have to do

[00:00:51] Sometimes you get what you want

[00:00:55] So be careful what you ask for

[00:00:57] Remember what you got

[00:00:59] Tossing her pennies

[00:01:01] In the wishing well

[00:01:02] Mona Lisa reaches over

[00:01:04] For the sleeping pills

[00:01:47] Like a jerk that butts

[00:01:49] Into the front of the line

[00:01:51] She's got her reasons

[00:01:53] And he don't mind

[00:01:55] Absence is supposed to make

[00:01:57] The heart grow fonder

[00:02:00] He's hoping her vacation

[00:02:01] Lasts a little bit longer

[00:02:10] And they both have their tickets

[00:02:12] For the promised land

[00:02:14] Still they don't appreciate what they have

[00:02:18] They can't see what's right

[00:02:20] In front of their eyes

[00:02:22] They've been looking so long

[00:02:24] They finally went blind

[00:02:33] And they lost

[00:02:39] What was right

[00:02:45] In front of their eyes
