lyrics

Melancholy Mona
She steps in the room
And everybody knows it
By the scent of her sweet perfume
Melancholy Mona
Having a small soiree
She got folks to impress tonight
Cuz impressive is her way

And she's high as a kite
She just might start up a fight
She just might fight you all night
But it's all good,
you''ll make up and you'll laugh with her all day

Oh, Mona
She ain't always there
But you can feel a mad pulse in the
cool gaze of her stare
Melancholy Mona
With a smile to raise the dead
You can't know the craziness
Lurking there in that head

And she's high as a kite
She just might start up a fight
She just might kick you tonight
But it won't hurt for long 'cuz you know
it heals her soul

Ink stains on her fairy tale dress, she
works hard at the GR Press
And she knows it
She knows it
That place is such a mess
It don't lead to any form of success
No, it don't.

Sometimes you just need to sit and cry
Sometimes you need to talk about all your life
Sometimes you gotta let it out and scream at the sky
Sometimes you wanna punch me in the eye
Sometimes you wanna jail your emotion
Sometimes you wanna let your heart out to run
Sometimes when life ain't so much fun
Just think about our conversations, and

Fly like a kite
You just might tear a hole right through the night
You just might shine so bright
that when all else fails there's only you to look into.

Oh, Mona.
Only you to look into
