pierce pettis – leonardo lyrics
leonardo was a most energetic man
they say he talked incessantly with his drawings and his hands
with notebooks written backwards, so no one would steal his plans for ships that sail beneath the sea and nonsense such as that
he knew a man named machiavelli; they were most unlikely friends
the madman, artist, dreamer and the calculating prince
opposites attract, they say – maybe that was it
or perhaps it’s just that evil is drawn to innocence
sad smile of the mona lisa must have haunted him for years
now museum guards surround it like a shrine
and demoniacs go after it with knives from time to time
in europe’s mid-life crisis pf bl–dy popes and kings
leonardo dreamed of birds in flight, made sketches of their wings
like god’s own graffiti on a little chapel wall
he left the greatest painting – “the last supper” it is called
leonardo was ahead of his time by centuries
but always short of cash; he rarely finished anything
he was a puzzle to his enemies, a problem for his friends
and it’s the wild card of history that men like him exist
sad smile on the mona lisa must have haunted him for years
now museum guards surround it like a shrine
and demoniacs go after it with knives from time to time
