Lighten Up, Francis Lyrics

Mama-san is hittin the town to
swing her booty around
shake it all up and down
Mama-san is hittin the town
booty bump to the sound
no more nose to the ground

It's time to lighten up

It's time to lighten up
and to get out of your head
and get back in your booty
time to get out of your head
and get on back in your booty

Time to knock the train off the rails
feel the breeze of her sails
she done her hair and her nails
Time to knock the train off the rails
no more sweatin' details
no more verdicts and bails

It's time to lighten up

Mama-san says
'always, never'
these words no longer have a home

It's time to lighten up
time to get out of your head
and get on back in your booty
time to get out of your head
to get on back in your booty

Mama-san says
'always, never'
these words no longer have a home here

She's got the stealth and prowess of the panther
Rickson Gracie
watch her glide across the crowded floor like
Fred and Grace

It's time to lighten up
time to get out of your head
and get on back in your booty

Seems to me its a song about getting away from life and hitting the town for a fun time. But this being Maynard, I'm sure there is another meaning here. But at this time I'm just not getting it. Anyone else?

Honestly, I really think for once the song is what it is. Maynard even stated that the Puscifer project is purely for fun, and that his other bands (of which are more cathartic for him) take a lot out of him. The whole album just seems like fun, focused mostly on sex and large matronly woman that embrace their sexuality. Maybe it's an homage to female seuxality?

Francis Bean Cobain...or maybe I'm completely wrong.

"Lighten up, Francis" is actually a line from the movie "Stripes."

,.... something must have been going down within puscifer and maynard is telling "francis" to lighten up and get over it.... through the song is the only way he can reach her. doesnt he write about real life? puscifer has nothing to do with the government or anything except himself, at least that is what puscifer used to be about, maybe the past few years the intentions of puscifer possibly have changed.. could be wrong but i believe I am correct..... "no more verdicts and bails" stop the arguing and lighten...

I like the shout out to Rickson Gracie, whom he studies ju-jitsu with.

This song is about not overanalyzing things and thinking too much and going with what you feel is correct rather than what your brain says is correct.
