I never knew Frances Farmer Just a picture from a friend that I look at everyday Her head cocked over her shoulder And eyes far away
I never knew Frances Farmer I just knew she was an actress that never quite fit in But I feel her lying next to me Breathing in my arms With translucent skin
I never knew Frances Farmer But her lips could tell me secrets that the world will never know A world she left so long ago
I never knew Frances Farmer But I couldn't know her better if she was sitting here today Shock treatments and lobotomies For things you should not say
