Shes out of her mind
Like the wind in the storm
Oh, like the ocean in the dawn
As it disappears, with the riptide
Shes out of her mind
Shes pulled away by the moon
Shes ripped from her sleep
As the cold luna sweep gains control
Ooohhh, what you gonna do with your emotions
Ah, ones you barely recognize
In your sleep I heard your screaming, ooohhh
"this is not voluntary! this is not voluntary!
If this is life Id rather die!"
In the riptide, in the riptide
Shes out of her mind, riptide
Like a muscle that swells
You know when you trip
Whether youre well or sick, your body aches
Shes out with the tide
Gone to a prisoners dance
Where a monkeys her date
Eating limbs off a plate with a spoon
Ooohhh, what you gonna do with your emotions
Said the seagull to the loon
What you gonna do with your emotions
She said "please wake me up"
She said "dont touch me now"
She said "i wish I was dead"
With the riptide
Shes out of her mind
Riptide, you always win
It happens over and over again
Riptide
Shes out of her mind
Like a hurricanes rain
She does not stand a chance
At this luna dance, riptide
I was thinking of van goghs last painting
The wheatfields and the crows
Is that perhaps what youve been feeling
When you see the ground
As you fall from the shy
As the floors disappears from beneath your feet riptide
Shes going out of her mind
Out with the tide
Out of her mind
Riptide
Shes going out of her mind
With the riptide
Shes going out of her mind
Ah, riptide
