John Tabacco - Lighten up Francis Lyrics

LIGHTEN UP FRANCIS

Francis remembers
Cries as he sips his coffee
That night in September
Renda and him back to the tracks
To flirt with the dead
Make a connection
Slip between worlds and come out the end
Hoping to feel like a new resurrected God
And see their friends

Lighten up Francis you're a dough boy
At a Mexican Wedding
Lighten up Francis you're poor boy
Wrapped up in regrettings
The past is always on your mind
She's gone!
Come back to the living

Francis and Renda
Two of the brightest bulbs you'd meet
Questioned their routines
Searching for answers down the street
Take'm up to the end of the station
No one around to mess up their plans
Both of them seeing the light in the tunnel
Holding hands
Till the other ran

Lighten up Francis you're a dough boy
At a Mexican Wedding
Lighten up Francis you're poor boy
Wrapped up in regrettings
Lighten up Francis you're a dough boy
At a Mexican Wedding
Lighten up Francis you're poor boy
Wrapped up in regrettings
The past is always on your mind
She's gone
Come back to the living

Is there any point to this story?
A lapse of common sense, perhaps
And death, it plagues us with cosmic riddles
The answers availed to us mere mortals
Once we kick ourselves over the fence
Perhaps

And we start living life again
Gotta start living life again
Start living life again
Oh yeah!

Lighten up Francis you're a dough boy
At a Mexican Wedding
I said, lighten up Francis you're poor boy
Wrapped up in regrettings
Lighten up Francis you're a dough boy
At a Mexican Wedding
Lighten up Francis you're poor boy
Wrapped up in regrettings
The past is always on your mind
She's gone
Come back to the living
