Get Started, Start A Fire Songtext
Em Bm11 Em Bm11 The Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile Em Bm11 Em Bm11 She tried to pose but only for a while Em Bm11 Em Bm11 Leonardo sent her home Since then she has lived alone D C D C With her few belongings and a copy Of a painting of herself unhappy G C D She is going to burn it when she's ready Chorus: Em Bm11 Em Bm11 Get started, start a fire (4 times) Marilyn was lying all alone With an empty bottle by the phone Kennedy was not around She was cold when she was found But she'd gone where goddesses are sleeping Where the molten tongues of flame are leaping Or where the angel's hearts are heating (Instrumental VERSE, INTRO RPT) Joan of Arc was burning at the stake Somebody had made a big mistake She had lit a cigarette In an airport where you get Your fingers taken off for smoking. Meanwhile up the road a factory's choking The ones who killed her work there I'm not joking
