Lou Reed Riptide lyrics

She's out of her mind
Like a wind in the storm
Like a ocean in 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 a cold luna sweep gains control

What you gonna do with your emotions?
Ones you barely recognize
In your sleep I heard your screaming, "Aah"
"This is not voluntary, this is not voluntary
If this is life I'd rather die"
Aah, in the riptide but she's goin' out of her mind

She's out of her mind
Oh baby, like 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

"Ahh, what you gonna do with your emotions?"
Said the seagull to the loon

"What you gonna do with your emotions?"
She, she said "Please wake me up"
"Oh baby, don't you touch me now"
She said, "I wish I was dead"
Ahh aah, in the riptide, she's out of her mind

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

She's out of her mind
It's like a hurricane's rain
She doesn't stand a chance
At this luna dance, riptide

I was thinking of Van Gogh's last painting
The wheat fields and the crows
Is that perhaps what you, you've been feeling
When you see the ground as you fallin' from the sky
As the floors disappears from beneath your feet, riptide
Riptide, but she's going out of her mind

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