Ophelia (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

Ah, ah, when I was younger
I, I should’ve known better
And I can’t feel no remorse
And you don’t feel nothing back
I, I got a new girlfriend here
Feels like he’s on top
And I don’t feel no remorse
And you can’t see past my blindness

Oh, Ophelia
You’ve been on my mind, girl, since the flood
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help the fool who falls in love

I, I got a little paycheck
You got big plans and you gotta move (whoo!)
And I don’t feel nothing at all
And you can’t feel nothing small

Honey, I love you
That’s all she wrote

Oh, Ophelia
You’ve been on my mind, girl
like a drug
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help the fool who falls in love
Oh, Ophelia
You’ve been on my mind, girl
since the flood
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help the fool who falls in love
Oh, Ophelia
You’ve been on my mind, girl
like a drug
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help the fool who falls in love

The old neighborhood just ain’t the same
Nobody knows just what became of
Ophelia
Tell me, what went wrong

G7 c
Mama, i know we broke the rules
F c
Was somebody up against the law?
G7 g7+5
Honey, you know i’d die for you

Why do the best things always disappear

G7 c a7 d7 g7
Please darken my door

Was it somethin’ that somebody said?
Honey, you know we broke the rules
Wu somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know i’d die for you

Scared and runnin’
But i’m still waitin’ for the second comin’
Of ophelia
Come back home

Ophelia (Letra)

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." )

Morning came to pieces without offering is it still real
Precious little pistol beaten senseless till she cant feel
Still the moments passing by its only the time that we could never stop
Early morning winter came been too close to be so close again
I never meant to be so cold its only the time that we could never stop
Still the moments passing by
Im letting ophelia die

Daisy dusted lightly so politely till she cant see
Itchy little trigger will deliver what you cant be
Still the moments psasing by its only the time that we could never stop
Early morning winter came been too close to be so close again
I never meant to be so cold its only the time that we could never stop
Still the moments passing by
Im letting ophelia die
