Riptide Lyrics by Lou Reed

Riptide Lyrics

    She's out of her mind
    Like the wind in the storm
    Oh, like the ocean in the dawn
    As it disappears, with the riptide

    She's out of her mind
    She's pulled away by the moon
    She's 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 i'd rather die!"

    In the riptide, in the riptide

    She's out of her mind, riptide
    Like a muscle that swells
    You know when you trip
    Whether you're well or sick, your body aches

    She's out with the tide
    Gone to a prisoner's dance
    Where a monkey's 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 "don't touch me now"
    She said "i wish i was dead"

    With the riptide

    She's out of her mind
    Riptide, you always win
    It happens over and over again
    Riptide

    She's out of her mind
    Like a hurricane's rain
    She does not stand a chance
    At this luna dance, riptide

    I was thinking of van gogh's last painting
    The wheatfields and the crows
    Is that perhaps what you've been feeling
    When you see the ground
    As you fall from the shy
    As the floors disappears from beneath your feet riptide

    She's going out of her mind
    Out with the tide
    Out of her mind
    Riptide

    She's going out of her mind
    With the riptide
    She's going out of her mind
    Ah, riptide
