I was staring at a picture of Fiona,
remembering that Mona Lisa never smiled either.
She was just getting done with a shave and shower,
had a date in an hour.

was just getting done with a shave and a shower,
had a date in an hour.
I only ever wanted things to be just fine
but now I think I’m gonna die before my time.
I was thinking I should walk down to the Sunset Strip.
Well, everybody’s hip there, got a lot of shit there.
I was thinking I should get myself a cute alt girl.
No piercings, but just maybe died hair, yeah
I’d play wise like the other guys here.
I only ever wanted things to be just fine
but now I think I’m gonna die before my time.
I only ever wanted things to be just fine
but now I think I’m gonna die before my time.
And all the girls were never happy.
they were never happy,
they were never happy.
No, they were never happy,
they were never happy,
never happy.
