Frances the Mute (intro) Songtext
von The Mars Volta

It′s been thirteen seconds
Since you all last said
I've become the apparition
You predicted for my death
You said that flirting brings you
Closer to the end
You can bait into the water
But you′ll never get the hint
And like a stain of bricks goes
Dancing by your head
Plucked from an icebox
Grafted on my skin


It's been thirteen seconds
Since you all last said
I've become the apparition
You predicted for my death
You said that flirting brings you
Closer to the end
You can bait into the water
But you′ll never get the hint
And like a stain of bricks goes
Dancing by your head
Plucked from an icebox
Grafted on my skin

My coat has hid the marks
Mink hits the shovel fix
Near the sway of pendulums
Boar abrasions and a kiss
She said:
"I′ll never let them hurt you
I'll never let them in
What you took from me is mine
And what is mine I′ll never give"


Mascara glass in the molar weeds
Herash, a serpent infancy
(Herash, a serpent infancy)
His eye patch pussed a gap of sand
Into his shine a sedative
(Into his shine a sedative)
More and more the dirt collects
(The dirt collects)
You'll never find her body now
(You′ll never find her body now)
Her closet festered in a secret air
Blonde underneath a blackened hair
(Blonde underneath a blackened hair)
He never knew the colony
Gestated in his bed

Mingle with the carnivores
You've something both in common now
′Till one day his wasted breath
Swollen throat and karma debt
Set foot inside a parlor
(To find her drunken by receipts)
To find her drunken by receipts
He held her by the ankles
(Held her by the ankles)
Gutted at the nave
Yes, gutted and depraves
He tied a rope around her legs
And let her hang for seven days

This never happened
But I saw you leave
And crawl into a bed of broken windows

This never happened
But I saw you leave
And crawl into a bed of broken windows

This never happened
But I saw you leave
And crawl into a bed of broken windows
This never happened
