Ballad of Francis Alabadalejo
Francis Alabadalejo woke up one morning and prayed to the virgin that hung on the wall with eyes full of pleading and knees a door knocking, he told her the dream that had left him in terror something that couldn't be reasoned at all
'I saw me a woman, her eyes they were smiling, her lips were on fire, her tongue was ice she beckoned me on, with a finger of bones, her flesh was of leather and not very nice
he woke up in fear and sweat beads were gleaming and knew in his heart that something was wrong but the virgin smiled down with eyes of compassion he left feeling better and second to none
Francis Alabadalejo is smiling Francis Alabadalejo is laughing Francis Alabadalejo feels second to none
So he came to the hospital, where he was working and put on his coat of a hessian brown the minutes were spinning, until it was tea time resting his feet on a chair in the corner smoking and passing the papers around
young men and maidens, old men and children babies in arms and arms hung in slings Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com old ladies for x-ray, for medicine and massage, to name but afew of their favourite things the noise of the hospital rolling about him, the synthetic hiss, of rubber shod wheels the batter of doors and the murmer of voices and nobody knows how the next person feels Francis Alabadalejo is smiling Francis Alabadalejo is laughing Francis Alabadalejo feels second to none
Said the path lab to Francis, go get you a barrow and carry this package to where we shall say and he spied a long parcel all tied up in brown paper nothing to look at and then not even thinking he loaded his barrow and pushed it away
rounding the corner the barrow wheel tilted the cold eyes were gleaming and Francis was running filling the air with the sound of his screaming, and stretched on the ground an assortment of pieces, the face in the nightmare, when he had been sleeping, lay lifelessly gazing blue eyed at the sky
Francis Alabadalejo is running Francis Alabadalejo is flying Francis Alabadalejo will never return
