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
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 Explain Request ×
