Lunes - Ophelia, Amelia, and Nancy

I seen the ghost of Ophelia sellin' paraphernalia
She didn't need to, but half the fun is how they nail ya!
Then I saw her again, kissin' up on a friend
Of a friend she told her mama that she never met
He was kissin' her too, and as his lips turned blue
He disappeared into a cigarette Ophelia drew
I gave her back the one I bummed, I didn't know where I came from
She didn't either, so she dunked her head back in the river
I didn't see her for a year, but after fifty-thousand beers
You start to feel her in your teeth and in your ears!
She doesn't give it to me straight, she always keeps me hangin'
So I start clangin' on her words and on her changes
"Maybe you never said 'I love you' to another one
Or you never thought you'd say it again
But take it from the dead, honey
Movin' on's a livin' thing
And maybe you have I say 'forever' when you're losin' it
'Cause you wanna polish over the sin
But the river doesn't care where you been
Where you went..."
Can't say I never warned ya, I moved to California
For the money and the marijuana!
I saw the face of Amelia on your family regalia
I didn't know just what to think or what to tell ya
I couldn't tell you how I seemed
When I called you from a dream
Ophelia was rooting for the other team
How could I blame her, honey?
I can't stand seein' you alone
I couldn't claim you, Nancy
You always was a rollin' stone
Now I'm drinkin' and dancin' while Ophelia moans
"Maybe you never said 'I love you' to another one
Or you never thought you'd say it again
But take it from the dead, honey
Movin' on's a livin' thing
And maybe you have I say 'forever' when you're losin' it
'Cause you wanna polish over the sin
But the river doesn't care where you been!
Why you left..."
