Misery loves company,
Is a lie in the first degree
Accepting grace, you wear a face
So no one else can see
That'it’s long, long way down
Your feet never touch the ground
Laughter and scorn, a ragged coat worn
As you stagger your way out of town
Chorus
Ophelia, wear your garland like a queen
Ophelia, awaken from your dream
Ophelia, time for your big scene
Who’s that man in the photo there?
By the sea, the wind running through his hair:
Outside the frame, she’s calling his name
In his eyes there’s a longing so rare
But it’s a long, long way down
Your smile just looks a frown
It’s just no use calling a truce
Surrendering to a ghost town
Chorus
Bridge:
Does the day love the night?
He hides in shadows of twilight.
And when night’s dreaming is through
Her tears fill the morning dew
Sitting in the backyard feeling blue
Singing songs to help me through
Handful of notes, scattered like stars
Piety gives the Devil his due
It’s long, long way down
Your feet never touch the ground
Laughter and scorn, a ragged coat worn
As you stagger alone out of town
Ophelia, yeah honey you're a queen
Ophelia, this is our big scene
Ophelia, you look fine in jeans...
