John Frusciante - Mascara Lyrics






There's a belt of sun dripping through a porthole
In a set design
Can you read your name?
It's been so long since we blew from the inside
So where have you been since you fell off the flat edge
Of the world under an ugly sky
You've been lying by
But they meant you, dance under the moonlight
Do what you think is the sum
Of the flesh and blood
Above there's small birds gone to trembling
In for thousands of your years

[Voice 1:] You felt like crystal in your thighs
[Voice 2:] You get four red candles
[Voice 2:] On the table with your penis by your eyes
[Voice 1:] You're the one that makes me realize
[Voice 1:] Big water flowing through to tomorrow
[Voice 2:] Through to your vacation
[Voice 1:] Apples and cake must have been your stake
[Voice 2:] ? [something about "a gallon of wine"] but the smile you send in my direction
[Both: Makes me feel like I'm alive
[Voice 1:] You're hidden by your wooden legs
[Voice 2:] You're my kind, You're my kind
[Voice 2:] You always make me feel like a moon in my life
[Voice 1:] Stay here in down at the world's edge, for a time
[Voice 2:] It always makes me feel good to know you're alive, wrapping your ties
[Voice 1:] Down by the whirlpool, I finally realized you must have bittenyour snake,
Your little guy
[Voice 1:] I've been insane well the time is slow
[Voice 2:] I've been to a society where you can't see yourself and you can't feel sunshine
[Voice 2:] And if you see me roaming the hillside won't you come along? It's all gone to
The top of yourself. You'll always be alone.
[Voice 1:] The Pope don't matter when the pawn is your sea, don't you agree?
[Voice 2:] I like you in my love, makes me feel good just to know I can love someone like you.
They'll make it hard for you choose. I can understand but when you see the tears coming you close
Your eyes.
To you I'm sure it's no surprise that I could be one of the dead.
Thank god my underwear's full of lead without you. Without you.
[Voice 1:] When you're around I'm wound around your thumb. You wanna be numb inside the gun.
All your different delights are one big fight against thebaby inside that you've mistaken for pain.

  15. L.... G....

    the best song from Niandra Lades. period. we can argue about Usually just a t-shirt and all its stream-of-consciousness stuff though.

    L.... G....

    +Jose Montijo
    Both unbelievable tracks. It could be though, or possibly vice versa.

    L.... G....

    +Alex Boy 11 and 12 are my favorites off the whole disk.

    L.... G....

    Untitled #4, #12, #9, and #7 are my favorites.

    L.... G....

    Best John song. Period. Even better if you add Outside Space.

    L.... G....

    @Jose Montijo i always have thought of Untitled 7 as the modified one and of Untitled 6 as the original. In tempo and tone, It just sounds like something more Frusciantish

  16. I.... ....

    3:25 Love !!!

    I.... ....

    +Thiago Ribeiro outside space song mate ; >

    perfect ending

  25. m.... ....

    John is so adorable.

  26. Q.... B....

    niandra lades and usually just at shirt is the best album ever

    Q.... B....

    QoZy Boxed definitely

  27. T.... ....

    If it wasn't meant to be on this album, why has he put 15 seconds of it on? He didn't put it on any studio album in the end, but it is an absolute pearl

  28. C.... M....

    well that is not necessarily true, because the song "smile from the streets you hold" and two songs he did with river were meant to be on this album, but because of the limitation of how much play time a cd/cassette could hold he was unable to have thoughs tracks on. I would assume there were more tracks he wasnt able to put on the album as well, esspecially considering most of the album sftsyh was recorded at the same time as niandra lades.

  29. J.... ....

    3:15 is so epic

  30. S.... O....

    This is clearly one of my John's favorites, and my Niandra Lades favorite. Pure genius.

  31. m.... ....

    Awe, i LOVE him.

  32. T.... ....

    Why didn't he put Outside Space on the album?

  33. C.... A....

    muy lindo ♥

  34. H.... D....

    The little bit at the end is the intro to Outside Space. Another great song by John :)

  35. R.... P....

    @penwe17 with your painted fire eyes

  36. p.... ....

    on the table with your penis by your eyes

  37. Q.... ....

    how this awesome shit could be underrated

  38. T.... ....

    @7h3tSLDR02 It's a tribute to a French artist, Marcel Duchamp, who's been a big influence to John. The character on the cover is Rrose Sélavy.

  39. M.... ....

    those two songs in a song, i mean whaaaaaa-

  40. r.... m....

    that blamed man
    you dance under the moonlight

  41. r.... m....

    no junk, no soul

  42. r.... m....

    all the world under an ugly sky-
    you been lyin, rye

  43. s.... ....

    man,i love how he puts all the songs together at the end and then to top it off he gives us a sample to and amazing song"outside space" at the end jeez this album is the best thing iv ever heard! Long live FRUSCIANTE!

  44. p.... ....

    Close your eyes... <3

  45. H.... M....

    very inspiring song and album, Johns next solo album should be like this

  46. F.... T....

    you guys are cute, now shut the fuck up and listen to good music, whether that means you stay here or get the fuck out. RHCP does rock, though!

  47. B.... O....

    @ambskater97 Got nothing against his style, I only said that this album is his worst album, every solo album is OK, but RHCP is pure genius.

  48. B.... O....

    this is probably his worst album, it sucks ass.

  49. L.... ....

    ♥this whole album is AMazing. i ♥ it. please stop hatting people. peace out. ♥

  50. M.... B....

    hauntingly beautiful

  51. 1.... ....

    check out my version of outside space (last 10 sec from this song) :p

  52. s.... ....

    i gotta cover of this great song that i do not pretend to do justice to but i'd love your opinion and not mine. much love, amor, y paz

  53. p.... ....

    excellent song, thanks to rockeinstein for posting this!!!!
