Opus 40 Lyrics - Singles - Mercury Rev

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 

Struck on the rocks and sighed 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 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 

Tears in waves, minds on fire 

Nights alone by your side
