2. The original lyrics
"Mona Lisa"
Here's another pity
And there's another chance
Try to learn a lesson
But you can't.
If we can burn a city
In futures and in past,
Without a change our lives will never last.
Cause we're going fast.
You can sit beside me when the world comes
down,
If it doesn't matter then just turn around.
We don't need our bags and we can just
leave town.
You can sit beside me when the world comes
down.
What can we do better,
When will we know how?
A man says from a sidewalk to a crowd.
If we can change the weather,
If you wanted to yourself.
And if you can't I guess we all need help,
yeah,
I need help.
You can sit beside me when the world comes
down,
If it doesn't matter then just turn around.
We don't need our bags and we can just leave
town.
You can sit beside me when the world comes
down.
We say
And we do
All the lies
The truth
And all I need is next to me.
Yeah, we're going fast.
You can sit beside me when the world comes
down,
If it doesn't matter then just turn around.
Will you be the queen? And I'll be your clown
You can sit beside me when the world comes
down.
You can sit beside me when the world comes
You can sit beside me when the world comes
down.
3. verse1
Here's another pity
And there's another

If we can burn a city
In futures and in past,
Without a change our
lives will never last.
Cause we're going
fast.

key place to introduce the Main character.
The song says here's Another pity where you
