The Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile
She tried to pose, but only for a while
Leonardo sent her home
Since then, she has lived alone
With her few belongings and a copy
Of a painting of herself unhappy
She is going to burn it, when she's ready, ah
Get started
Start a fire
Get started
Start a fire
Marilyn was lying all alone
With an empty bottle by the phone
Kennedy was not around
She was cold when she was found
But she'd gone where goddesses are sleeping
Where the molten tongues of flames are leaping
Or where the angel's hearts are beating, ah
Get started
Start a fire
Get started
Start a fire
Ooh, get started
Yeah, start a fire, hmm
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh (ah-ah)
Ooh-ooh, ah, ooh-ooh-ooh, start a fire
(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah)
Joan of Arc was burning at the stake
Somebody had made a big mistake
She had lit a cigarette
In an airport where you get
All your fingers taken off for smoking
Meanwhile, up the road, a factory's choking
The ones who killed her work there, I'm not joking, ah
Get started
Start a fire
Ah, get started
Start a fire, hmm
Oh, get started
Yeah, start a fire
Ooh, get started
Start a fire, ah (ah-ah)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh (ah-ah)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, get started, hmm
Start a fire
Yeah, get started, uh-uh
Start a fire
Hey, get started, hmm
Start a fire
Yeah, get started, hmm
Start a fire
Oh, get started
