Opus 40

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

Catskill mansions buried screams I'm alive

She cried but I don't know what it means

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
