And beat you with a walking stick.
I said, ‘Mama, call a doctor you
must be sick!’
She told me that’s the only way I
get my kicks.

I don’t wanna lose myself in love again,
But my heartbeat keeps on a hammering.

I been around the world about a
time and again,
I met a little chick in an opium

She moves across the room with easy grace
Mona lisa smiles up on her face
I who am completely mesmerized
By the sunlight in her eyes

Morning sun comes thru my windows
All night long I have been waiting
We who are constantly moving
Leaving part of us behind

Moves across the room with easy grace
Mona lisa smiles up on her face
I who am completely mesmerized
By the sunlight in her eyes

And the morning sun comes thru my window
All night long I have been waiting
We who are constantly moving
Leaving part of us behind
