    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
    (Don't you worry)
    I've become the apparition you predicted for my death
    You said that flirting brings you closer to the end
    (Don't you worry)
    You can bait into the water but you'll never get the hint
    And like a stain of bricks goes dancing by your head
    (Don't you worry)
    Plucked from an icebox, grafted on my skin
    [Verse 2]
    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
    Her ash, a serpent infancy
    And his eye patch pussed through a gape of sand
    Into his shine a sedative (Into his shine a sedative)
    More and more the dirt collects
    And you'll never find her body now
    In a closet festered in secret air
    Blonde underneath her blackened hair
    And he never knew the colony
    Gestated in his bed
    Mingle with the carnivores
    You've something both in common now
    Till one day with his wasted breath
    Swollen throat and karma debt
    Set foot inside a parlor
    To find her drunken by receipts
    He held her by the ankles
    Gutted at the nave
    Yes gutted and depraved
    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

      I would be surprised if that's actually why it's there. Tension and release is why TMV does this, the idea that the listener should have to pass some sort of trial to experience the song is a weird one, what would it add to the experience? Tension is one thing, but putting the listener through something unpleasant just to make the meat of the song sound better in comparison is weak, and TMV would never use such a cheap trick.

      FrancesTheeeMute I believe he is referring to the first scene, where someone is murdered by falling glass from a multi-coloured skylight, their body left lying on the floor, surrounded by the shards. I would be surprised is the original Suspiria was a big inspiration to this album, and indeed The Mars Volta in general, especially the brightly coloured surrealism

      @DragonFlopp 8 років тому +10

      Not enough space for a CD release. CDs can only hold about 80 minutes of music. All of the tracks on the final album totaled about 76 minutes, so there was no room left for this track.

    Frances is great. But there's so much bullshit that it becomes a chore at times. I get the ambiance is a part of this band's soul, but holy shit I just wanna listen to the fucking song! I'm sick of having my ears torn out by the intro of this, or the outro of Cygnus, and seriously if I wanna listen to birds I can go to my back yard.
    EDIT: I'm gonna give this song's outro a pass since it ends with the guitar used in the Cygnus intro, which makes the segway absolutely PERFECT.

      +Animalz BLC I agree with this. As it is, Frances the Mute (the album) feels more coherent and complete beginning and ending on the same melody. Frances the Mute (the single), while an excellent song, doesn't flow as well with the rest of the album. It works as more of a prelude to the album.
