Kinnie Starr, "Ophelia"
(1996)

She had dreads upon her head, blonde snakes
Ophelia you are so well read so
Leave me spellbound, unadorned and unrefined
I am done founted by the caves of your mind
We are earth bound surrounded
By the strings we lay on
I am your bloodhound
Identified by my love for your life
I am your bloodhound
Identified by my love for your life
For your life, for your life
For your life, for your life
Charm me

She had dreads upon her head, blonde snakes
Ophelia you are so well read so I
Wish to be lead to your bed
Wish upon your art charms, I need to be fed
Wish to be out spread for you
Wish to give you my bread so red
Wish to give you my bread so red
Wish to give you my bread so red

She had a red red, really really red bed
She had a red red, really really red bed
Red red red red red red

Ophelia had dreads up on her head
Cut 'em off they fell to her feet
And then she said:
"I will hold my hands up
Brace fists to the air
I will hold my chin up
Steer clearly throught despair
I can feel my chest
The brightness of eternal breath
And nations of fashion
I will give birth to long past my death"

She said:
"Nations of passion
I will give birth to long past my death"
She said:
"Nations of passion
I will give birth to long past my death"

Said Ophelia
Ophelia, Ophelia, Ophelia
Ophelia, Ophelia, Ophelia
Ophelia, Ophelia, Ophelia
Ophelia, Ophelia, Ophelia
Ophelia
