Mara Lisa waves her hand at the car 

With a stick and a rose-colored shawl 

Fighting of tears of a dull and a deafening pain 

They'll repay every senseless act 

They ever borrowed from you 

Oh, just wait and you will see, won't you, Mara Lisa? 



Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades 

Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa? 



Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard 

Up onto the porch to a sip of tea 

Wounded soldier with a cane and a bitter remedy 

You'll repay every trick you pulled 

On the boys that were lost out at sea 

Oh they drowned in your memory, didn't they, Mara Lisa? 

You'll repay every senseless act 

To the boys who were dead in the field 

Oh you know they're were already killed, don't you, Mara Lisa? 



Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades 

Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa? 



Were you even capable of love? 

If you were, then how do you know 

Innocence keeps tabs on the ones it can't see 

It wet it's lips, and it said "Mara Lisa" 



Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard 

Up onto the porch to a sip of tea 

Wounded woman with a cane and a bitter remedy 

You'll repay every trick you pulled 

To the boys that were lost out in the field
