  • Kids, you have to remember that
    I'm up here conducting you for a reason, okay?
    Watch me, watch my fingers, here we go, ready?
    Watch me, one and two and three and ready

    Dès le premier jour
    Ton parfum enivre, mon amour
    C'est dans ces instants
    J'aimerais être comme toi par moments
    Mais depuis ce jour
    Je n'ai qu'un seul, et unique regret

    My wing tips waltz across naive wood floors
    They creak innocently down the stairs

    Drag melody
    My percussive feet serve cobweb headaches
    As a matching set of marching clocks
    The slumbering apparitions
    That they've come to wake up

    Here I am, composing a burlesque
    Out of where they rest their necks
    Sunken in their splintered cradles
    And ramshackle heads
    They ask for it

    As a girl, you have set your heart on
    Haunting me forever from the start
    It's never silent

    Ever since we met
    I only shoot up with your perfume
    It's the only thing that makes me feel as good as you do
    Ever since we met
    I've got just one regret to live through
    And that one regret is you

    How does a heart love
    If no one has noticed its presence?
    And where does it go?
    Trembling hands play my heart like a drum
    But the beat's gotten lost in the show

    You have set your heart on
    Haunting me forever from the start
    It's never silent

    Ever since we met
    I only shoot up with your perfume
    It's the only thing that makes me feel as good as you do
    Ever since we met
    I've got just one regret to live through
    And I regret never letting you know

    Ever since we met
    I only shoot up with your perfume
    It's the only thing that makes me feel as good as you do
    Ever since we met
    I've got just one regret to live through
    And that one regret is you

    Mona Lisa
    Pleased to please ya (and that one regret is you)
    Mona Lisa
    Pleased to please ya (and that one regret is you)
    Mona Lisa
    Pleased to please ya (I've got just one, ahh) Writer/s: Brendon Urie, Butch Walker, George Ross, Jonathan Walker, Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith

  • Aj from Trenton, Nji really love this song. I'm glad Brendon and Spencer are still making music even though they don't have Jon and Ryan. Nearly Witches is my favorite song off this album. Love this band!
