Frances Farmer

I never knew Frances Farmer
She's just a picture from a friend that I look at every day
With her head cocked over her shoulder
And her eyes far away

I never knew Frances Farmer
I just know she was an actress that never quite fit in
But I can 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
She lived and died so long ago

I never knew Frances Farmer
But I couldn't know her better if she's laying here today
Shock treatments and lobotomies
For things you should not say
