  • Song Lyrics » N » Natalie Merchant » Ophelia Lyrics
    Ophelia was a bride of god
    A novice carmelite
    In sister cells
    The cloister bells tolled on her wedding night

    Ophelia was the rebel girl
    A blue stockting suffragette
    Who remedied society between her cigarettes

    And ophelia was the sweetheart
    To a nation overnight
    Curvaceous thighs
    Vivacious eyes
    Love was at first sight...
    Love was at first sight...
    Love...

    Ophelia was a demigoddess in pre-war babylon
    So statuesque a silhouette in black satin evening gowns

    Ophelia was the mistress to
    A vegas gambling man
    Signora ophelia maraschina
    Mafia courtesan

    Ophelia was the circus queen
    The female cannonball
    Projected through five flaming hoops
    To wild and shocked applause
    To wild and shocked applause

    Ophelia was a tempest cyclone
    A goddamn hurricane
    Your common sense, your best defense
    They wasted , and in vain

    For ophelia 'd know your every woe
    And every pain you'd ever had
    She'd sympathize and dry your eyes
    Help you to forget...
    And help you to forget
    And help you to forget

    Ophelia's mind went wandering
    You'd wonder where she goes
    Through secret doors down corridors
    She wanders there alone
    All alone

    (voice in german)
    "es kostet mich keine kleine krise die verunreinigung und das
    Suechtige aus meinem leben auszuschliessen"
    ("but it is for me no little effort to exclude the polluting and the addictive
    From my life." )
    (voice in spanish)
    "compondo musica , en un estado de ecstases"
    ("composing music , in a state of ecstasy")
    (voice in spanish)
    "fuerza de vida , de vida"
    ( "strength of life , of life")
    (voice in german)
    "mein vater ist ein architekt"
    ("my father is an architect." )
