settle down

alec benjamin

he set out with a backpack

a compass in hand

to steal mona lisa

and that was his plan

a modern day outlaw

he'll take what he can

and vanish before you

like tracks in the sand

his pockets were full but his heart was so heavy

and all these material things can be deadly if

no one is there who will share when your seventy-one

if only someone

filled the spaces

he might settle down

he met her on tuesday

on his way back from france

he rolled up the painting

he stole with his hands

and even da vinci

couldn't have sketched

a more perfect woman

than the one that he met

his pockets were full but his heart was so heavy

and all these material things can be deadly if

no one is there who will share when your seventy-one

if only someone

filled the spaces

he might settle down

settle down

settle down

settle down

settle down

he woke up in the morning

with nothing around

she left with the portrait

no trace of her found

she was the outlaw

she was the one

she took the bounty

and left him with none

his pockets aren't full and his heart is still empty

and falling in love it can be just as deadly

and no one is there who will care when he's seventy-one

if only someone

filled the spaces

he might settle down

settle down
