  • Ophelia your secret is safe
    Ophelia you must break the chain
    Some girls will get their way
    Some fathers will control from the grave
    Ophelia you must remember

    Veronica's America is not like
    Is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
    Cosmic flavor
    Then Alison whispers, "remember
    Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
    Waiting for you to send her away
    Wish her well break the chain
    Break the chain"
    I feel you

    Ophelia
    "The Eve of St. Agnes",
    A poem he can't reach you in
    Ophelia you know how to lose
    But when will you learn to choose
    Those men who choose to stay
    Those mothers who won't look the other way
    Ophelia you must remember

    Veronica's America is not like
    Is not like Charlotte's, one to savor
    Cosmic flavor
    Then Alison whispers," remember
    Change waltzes in with her sister Pain
    Waiting for you to send her away
    Wish her well break the chain
    Break the chain"
    I feel you
