Get Started, Start a Fire Lyrics
The Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile
She tried to pose but only for a while
Leonardo sent her home
Since then she has lived alone
With her few belongings and a copy
Of a painting of herself unhappy
She is going to burn it when she's ready
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Marilyn was lyin 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 the goddesses are sleeping
Where the molten tongues of flames are leaping
Or where the angel's hearts are beating
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Start a fire
Joan of Arc was burnin at the stake
Somebody had made a big mistake
She had lit a cigarette
In an aiport where you get
All your fingers taken off for smokin
Meanwhile up the road a factory's chokin
The ones who killed her work there I'm not jokin
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
She tried to pose but only for a while
Leonardo sent her home
Since then she has lived alone
With her few belongings and a copy
Of a painting of herself unhappy
She is going to burn it when she's ready
Get started, start a fire
With an empty bottle by the phone
Kennedy was not around
She was cold when she was found
But she'd gone where the goddesses are sleeping
Where the molten tongues of flames are leaping
Or where the angel's hearts are beating
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Somebody had made a big mistake
She had lit a cigarette
In an aiport where you get
All your fingers taken off for smokin
Meanwhile up the road a factory's chokin
The ones who killed her work there I'm not jokin
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
Get started, start a fire
