Lyrics - Vol. I

From 1994:

A Drawing Down

I read the news today
I really thought it would mean something to me,
but stranger tales I have heard,
nothing that happens seems to make me anymore,
just round and round it goes
through my revolving door.

I heard a song today
I really thought it would mean something to me,
but truer songs I have heard,
nothing they write seems to touch me anymore,
just round and round it goes
through my revolving door.

Candles burning on the floor
Aleister Crowley knocking at my door,
come around, come around
to this drawing down,
on this unholy ground...
come see what I have found.

I heard a voice today
I really thought it'd mean something to me,
but stronger voices I have heard,
nothing they say seems to move me anymore,
just the Word going in and out
through my revolving door.

Aleister Crowley knocking on your door -- never an encouraging sign.

Nope. :-)

I wrote it about the dislocation of youth back in the early 1990s.
