Francesca

Francesca came from another place
Found her way to this
Looking for ways to get back
That never did exist
That never did exist

Francesca pounding on the walls
Caught in her mothers' web
Singing songs of hopelessness
To a soul gone dead
To a soul gone dead

And times passing

Tell me why Francesca are you living for yesterday
Why oh why Francesca can't you come back into today
Those days are gone
So find the Sun
You're living in poisoned dreams
Like an uncrowned queen
Like the cog that broke the machine

Francesca thinks of what might have been
And dreams of days gone by
Skipping around the old stone garden
Beneath a darkening sky
Beneath a darkening sky

Francesca dresses in forgotten clothes
Sees nothing about it as strange
A child within an outer skin
Crushed by the weight of change
Crushed by the weight of change

And times passing

Tell me why Francesca are you living for yesterday
Why oh why Francesca can't you come back into today
Those days are gone
So find the Sun
You're living in poisoned dreams
Like an uncrowned queen
Like the cog that broke the machine

Ooh ooh ooh Francesca
Free your mind Francesca
Can't you feel the time slip away
Can't you break the chains of yesterday

Ooh ooh ooh Francesca
Find the light Francesca
You're living in a world of make believe
Your fading beauty feeds your mind's disease

Francesca once dazzled the world
Dancing to the flashbulb duet
All the men had a need to want her
And there's no man she couldn't get
There was no man she couldn't get

Francesca swirls around the house
Wakes sleeping cats as they lie
The days pass by too slowly now
As the last warmth flies
As the last warmth flies

And times passing

Tell me why Francesca are you living for yesterday
Why oh why Francesca can't you come back into today
Those days are gone
So find the Sun
You're living in poisoned dreams
Like an uncrowned queen
Like the cog that broke the machine
