	Story Behind the Song Jeremy wrote the lyrics to "Lisa" as a series of thoughts from his journal, setting them to music on his 12-string guitar. Lyrically, the song is implicit rather than explicit. "It's really just an allegory," he says. The song is unique in that it dabbles in folk, achieving a talk-sing blend which Jeremy handles like a storyteller. He debuted the song with guitar and harmonica at the Brass Door Irish Pub in August, to very high praises. Lyrics This starlit city's holdin' out on a prayer For the angry gods to take their stand And clear the air Just like the movies, poems The rhymes and the reasons Lisa sits and watches it all pass by I know your intention - I know your game You say it's different But it's always the same Just like the beauty queens Are crowned every season So, too, will she rise And Lisa, I know what you want me to be Don't hide your eyes Because I know what you see Triumphant vision It's your decision now There's nothing much to gain When you've got nothin' left to lose Drawin' circles 'round in time Waitin' for time to diffuse The cynical dreamer lies awak in bed tonight Hopin' he's not wrong But prayin' he ain't right Can't make contentions If there's no one to blame The hollow sound of laughter Is a poor mask for your pain Just like the dawn of man You just know it had to be there And so, too, will she rise If I find out that's what you want me to say I'll change the words around And surprise you someday Triumphant vision It's your decision now You know there's got to be Some way out of this There's gotta be someone Who can clear up this mess Someone who knows someone who knows someone Who knows someone And they'll all get us out of here I know your intention - I know your game You say it's different But it's always the same Just like the beauty queens Are crowned every season So, too, will she rise And Lisa, I know what you want me to be Don't pay the price for love When it's handed to you free Triumphant vision It's your decision now This starlit city's holdin' out on a prayer.
