Opus 40

Well she tossed all night like a ragin' sea
Woke up an' climbed from th' suicide machine
With her spanish candles an' her persian poems
Stuck on th' rocks insude opus 40 stoned
An' scratchin' he wrists in the pourin' rain
She collapses down upon th' ocean floor again
Tears in waves minds on fire
Nights alone by yr side
Catskill mansions buried screams
I'm alive she cried but i don't know what it means
Somewhere out there across th' moonlit sands
There's a line drawn like th' lines on her own shand
An' slammin' her eyes lockin' th' door
She collapses down upon th' ocean floor again
Tears in waves minds on fire
Nights alone by yr side
