She's out of her mind
Like the wind in the storm
Oh like the ocean in the 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 the cold luna
sweep gains control
Oh 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 I'd rather die
In the riptide in the riptide
She's out of her mind riptide
Like a 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 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 don't touch me now
She said I wish I was dead
With the riptide
She's out of her mind
Riptide you always win
It happens over and over again
Riptide
She's 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 you've been feeling
When you see the ground
As you fall from the sky
As the floors disappears
from beneath your feet riptide
She's going out of her mind
Out with the tide
Out of her mind
Riptide
She's going out of her mind
Oh with the riptide
She's going out of her mind
Ah riptide
