Ophelia's Shadow |
Gunn/Willcox/Geballe/Beavis) |
She takes the night train |
With her bible of dreams |
A suitcase pretty pink |
A cassette of fresh screams |
Her treasures decompose |
Her treasures decay |
This is the Gospel |
In the garden of delights |
Ophelia can pretend |
To be a priestess or a femme fatale |
But Ophelia can’t escape her shadow |
A little purse of promises |
With which to elope |
A butterfly net and a killing jar |
To silence all her hopes |
Ophelia’s shadow |
Is haunting the humans |
Ambushed by ghosts |
And other aspects of her lonely heart |
This is the Gospel |
In the garden of delights |
Ophelia is Joan’s, burning body |
A little purse of promises |
With which to elope |
A butterfly net and a killing jar |
To silence all her hopes |
Can’t escape her shadow |
Nor the givers of advice |
Or the queue of emotional debts |
Nor the virtues nor the vice |
Sowing the seeds |
Of the never never tree |
This is the Gospel |
In the garden of delights |
Oh Ophelia |
Come Ophelia |
Sweet Ophelia |
Oh Ophelia can’t escape her shadow |
Dancing in their discos |
Talking down their telephones |
Eating in their restaurants |
Visiting their homes |
Trying on their clothes |
Wearing their Skin And Bones |
Ophelia |
Ophelia |
Come Ophelia |
We decompose |
Ophelia |
Come Ophelia |
Lets decay |
Lets decay |
Lets decay |
