FILM


OPHELIA


Ophelia was a bride of god 
a novice Carmelite 
in sister cells the cloister bells 
tolled on her wedding night

Ophelia was a rebel girl 
a blue stocking suffragette 
who remedied society 
between her cigarettes

Ophelia was a sweetheart 
to the nation over night 
curvaceous thighs 
vivacious eyes 
love was at first sight...

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 a circus queen 
the female cannonball 
projected through five flaming hoops 
to wild and shocked applause...

Ophelia was a cyclone, tempest 
a god damned hurricane 
your common sense 
your best defense 
lay wasted and in vain

Ophelia'd know your every woe 
and pain you'd ever had 
she'd sympathize 
and dry your eyes 
and help you to forget...

Ophelia's mind went wandering 
you'd wonder where she'd gone 
through secret doors 
down corridors 
she'd wander them alone 
all alone
