Elton John

Elton John - Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters Part Two lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album reg strikes back<br><br>I used to think that new york city<br>Fell from grace with god<br>And innocence abroad<br>Waged a war for the underdog<br>When the snow falls<br>And central park looks like a christmas card<br>I just looked beyond the bagman<br>And the madness that makes this city hard<br><br>I heard a basketball<br>Somewhere out beyond a chain link fence<br>Inner city prisoners<br>Argue for the right of self-defense<br>But there's a fast break<br>And every work of art wakes something in the soul<br>Just focus on the brush strokes<br>And the bouquets that the dancers hold<br><br>Spanish harlem still sounds good to me<br>Yeah mona lisa's getting older<br>Standing in the shadow of miss liberty<br>While I walk along the west side<br>Down through little italy<br>Searching for the city that<br>That took away the kid in me
