SHE IS NOT THE MONA LISA
SHE'S JUST A PICASSO
WITH STRANGE CUBIST EYES
AND, THIS IS NOT
THE LEANING TOWER
OF PISA
IT'S JUST A FLOPHOUSE
WHERE DREAMERS
COME TO DIE
THIS IS NOT
THE TUNNEL OF LOVE
IT'S  JUST A RIVER
SEARCHING FOR THE SEA
AND, THIS IS NOT WHAT
DREAMS ARE MADE OF
IT'S JUST WHATEVER
YOU WANT IT TO BE
 
IT'S A TEST PATTERN
AND YOU'RE AN INDIAN
FROZEN IN TIME
IT'S A TEST PATTERN
IT FEELS LIKE LOVE
BUT, IT'S NOT
THE REAL KIND
 
THIS IS NOT THE FUTURE
IT'S JUST ANOTHER
MOMENT FROM THE PAST
AND, THIS IS NOT
THE KAMA SUTRA
IT'S JUST A
COMIC BOOK
SOME KIND OF 
ROMANCE NOVEL TRASH
SHE IS NOT LADY LUCK
SHE'S JUST ANOTHER
SIDE SHOW FAKE
SO, DON'T YOU BE
A SITTING DUCK
AND WAIT LIKE A DECOY
OUT ON A DRIED UP LAKE
 
THIS IS NOT PARIS
IN SPRING
IT'S DEATH VALLEY
IN JULY.
AND, THIS IS NOT
A DIAMOND RING
IT'S JUST A LUMP OF COAL
AND SOME FOOL'S GOLD
THAT ANY FOOL COULD BUY
THIS IS NOT
REALLY HEAVEN,
CUZ, THERE ARE TOO MANY SOULS
GOIN' UP IN FLAMES
AND SHE IS NOT
AN ANGEL
SHE'S JUST ANOTHER FEAR
THAT YOU CAN'T NAME
 
IT'S A TEST PATTERN
AND, YOU'RE NOT GOIN' CRAZY,
JUST OUT OF YOUR MIND
IT'S A TEST PATTERN
IT FEELS LIKE LOVE
BUT IT'S NOT
THE REAL KIND
