Riptide — текст песни (Lou Reed)

Shes out of her mind

Like the wind in the storm

Oh, like the ocean in the dawn

As it disappears, with the riptide



Shes out of her mind

Shes pulled away by the moon

Shes ripped from her sleep

As the cold luna sweep gains control



Ooohhh, what you gonna do with your emotions

Ah, ones you barely recognize

In your sleep I heard your screaming, ooohhh

"this is not voluntary! this is not voluntary!

If this is life Id rather die!"



In the riptide, in the riptide



Shes out of her mind, riptide

Like a muscle that swells

You know when you trip

Whether youre well or sick, your body aches



Shes out with the tide

Gone to a prisoners dance

Where a monkeys her date

Eating limbs off a plate with a spoon



Ooohhh, what you gonna do with your emotions

Said the seagull to the loon

What you gonna do with your emotions



She said "please wake me up"

She said "dont touch me now"

She said "i wish I was dead"



With the riptide



Shes out of her mind

Riptide, you always win

It happens over and over again

Riptide



Shes out of her mind

Like a hurricanes rain

She does not stand a chance

At this luna dance, riptide



I was thinking of van goghs last painting

The wheatfields and the crows

Is that perhaps what youve been feeling

When you see the ground

As you fall from the shy

As the floors disappears from beneath your feet riptide



Shes going out of her mind

Out with the tide

Out of her mind

Riptide



Shes going out of her mind

With the riptide

Shes going out of her mind

Ah, riptide
