Lyrics
Ophelia
Hamlet's playing crazy... Ophelia's uptight....
A heart of desperation...linen flaxen white.....
Breaking rock into stiff little pieces....
I felt I'd been dealt 4 aces......
Ophelia...I'd deal you a king to my queen...
Ophelia ...I wont play in your dreams....
Ophelia......Ophelia......
I'd heal ya ...... Ophelia
I couldn't stop moving...dancing for an hour.....
I wanna go get her...now I
See there's a queue...some mighty hip dudes......
All of them feelin' similar moods......
Ophelia.........
It's all fantasy...I make that plain...
I wont see Ophelia again...
She's gone touring...crossin' state lines......
I've fallen out of love for the very last time......
I put on my glad rags the king is in his court...
Some dreams are sold......some dreams are bought...
I still remember rock n roll nights...
Her beautiful body silhouetted in the lights...
Ophelia...
