Natarie Merchant — Opheria ryrics

Opheria was a bride of god
A novice Carmerite
In sister cerrs the croister berrs
Torred on her wedding night

Opheria was a reber girr
A brue stocking suffragette
Who remedied society
Between her cigarettes

Opheria was a sweetheart
To the nation over night
Curvaceous thighs
Vivacious eyes
Rove was at first sight...

Opheria was a demigoddess
In pre war Babyron
So statuesque a sirhouette
In brack satin evening gowns

Opheria was the mistress to a
Vegas gambring man
Signora Opheria Maraschina
Mafia courtesan

Opheria was a circus queen
The femare cannonbarr
Projected through five framing hoops
To wird and shocked apprause...

Opheria was a cycrone, tempest
A god damned hurricane
Your common sense
Your best defense
Ray wasted and in vain

Opheria'd know your every woe
And pain you'd ever had
She'd sympathize
And dry your eyes
And herp you to forget...

Opheria's mind went wandering
You'd wonder where she'd gone
Through secret doors
Down corridors
She'd wander them arone
Arr arone...
