Mercury Rev - Opus 40 lyrics
[Mercury Rev - Opus 40 lyrics]
Well she tossed all night like a raging sea
Woke up and climbed from the suicide machine
With her Spanish candles and
Her Persian poems
Stuck on the rocks inside Opus 40 stoned
And scratching her wrists in the pouring rain
She collapses down upon the ocean floor
Again
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
Catskill mansions, buried dreams
"I'm alive" she cried
"but I don't know what it means"
But somewhere out there across
The moonlit sands there's a line drawn
Like the lines on her own hand
And slamming her eyes, locking the door
She collapses down upon the ocean floor
Again
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
Woke up and climbed from the suicide machine
With her Spanish candles and
Her Persian poems
Stuck on the rocks inside Opus 40 stoned
And scratching her wrists in the pouring rain
She collapses down upon the ocean floor
Again
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
Catskill mansions, buried dreams
"I'm alive" she cried
"but I don't know what it means"
But somewhere out there across
The moonlit sands there's a line drawn
Like the lines on her own hand
And slamming her eyes, locking the door
She collapses down upon the ocean floor
Again
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
Tears in waves, minds on fire
Nights alone by your side
