| That token drag on your cigarette, | |
| that well-known face in the fire, | |
| it could be someone you can't forget, | |
| someone you've learnt to admire. | |
| And it's strange how the feeling goes; | |
| all change – down the river Ophelia goes. | |
| You're treading water, the price is steep, | |
| you say you'll cope with it all; | |
| you've made some promises you can't keep, | |
| you throw yourself against the wall, | |
| you throw yourself against the wall. | |
| You throw yourself against the wall. | |
| And it's strange how the feeling goes; | |
| all change – down the river Ophelia goes. | |
| You heard a noise in the firegrate, | |
| you look to see who goes there – | |
| it's just the stranger, he's come too late | |
| and even he's unprepared | |
| to find the cupboard so bare. | |
| It's so strange when the feeling goes; | |
| all change – down the river Ophelia goes. | |
| It's so strange when the feeling goes; | |
| all change – down the river Ophelia goes. | |
| It's so strange – down the river... |
