Opus 40 Lyrics

Well, she tossed all night like a raging sea
Woke up and climbed from the suicide machineWith her Spanish candles and her Persian poems
Struck on the rocks and sighed Opus 40 stonedAnd scratching her wrists in the pouring rain
She collapses down upon the ocean floor againTears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your sideCatskill mansions, buried dreams
"I'm alive," she cried, but I don't know what it meansBut somewhere out there across the moonlit sands
There's a line drawn like the lines on her own handAnd slamming her eyes, locking the door
She collapses down upon the ocean floor againTears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your sideTears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your sideTears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
