OPHELIA’S SONG
Shall the effects of this good lesson stay with you
Stay with me
When givers prove unkind
Dry your life back Dry your eyes and keep your mind
Hey Blasted Hamlet
The stage is full of sad lost fools
Quit spilling your slings quit loosing your blood everywhere
Maybe the poisons in your ear
Ecstatic Hamlet Pick up your skull and carry on
You’re not the only only you’re not the only only one to take despair
Tear the flowers from your hair Ophelia
Remembrance is just a guide
Know that path already trod
Be done with voices smashing you and all you do
Be done with eyes that can’t see you
Be done with that which is not true Which is not you
Be your own shelter carry on
You’re not the only only you’re not the only only one to take despair
Tear the flowers from your hair Ophelia
Now help me stop that barge
That saddest sail to Camelot
Help her awake now
That lovely lady lovely lady of Shallot
Let’s save Elaine of Astolat
Don’t die for false love
Get thee hence from Lancelot
Weave your own mirror, tell your tale clearer Carry on
You’re not the only you’re not the only Only one to take despair
Tear the flowers from your hair Ophelia
You are a light
Don’t let the garments drag you down
Don’t let the tumble put you under
Don’t let you drown Don’t let you down Don’t let you drown
Ophelia Ophelia Ophelia
Tear the flowers from your hair
The Repressions
