OPHELIA

music & lyrics by:
Dan Edelstein

(inspired by Shakespeare)

While Hamlet plays the fool,
Ophelia goes mad.

*****

good night, sweet ladies, good night
i trust you enjoyed the fight
my father’s gone missing
and the boy i’ve been kissing
is the one who put out his lights

they told me that you were unkind
that you thought the whole world was blind
there was all of that chatter
that you’re mad as a hatter
now it’s me who’s losing my mind

why can’t you decide which hero to be?
your dreams of suicide are killing me
