Ancient Mysteries Lyrics by Charles Douglas

Statecraft

2004

Little Julie is still in the womb
She doesn't even know that she'll be born quite soon
Her future husband Michael is already seventeen
He drives around town and robs the cash machines
Later when she marries him her parents will scream
"You're stealing our baby and she's only thirteen"
And Michael will be thirty with no job and a tattoo
Of a little panda bear escaping from the zoo
Sitting in an ashram
In the Poconos
The swami explains to me
Ancient mysteries that no one knows
But everyone wants to
Michael is a fiend, he likes his woman and coke
And Julie is a hoe, she sold her ass for a joke
Stripping at a palace called Delilah's Den
It's in Philadelphia, come on in
Michael beat her up and he called her a whore
He stole all her money and then he hit the door
She went back to her parents, now she's back in the womb
Swimming in the fluid, listening to this tune
Sitting in an ashram
In the Poconos
The swami explains to me
Ancient mysteries that no one knows
But everyone wants to
No one knows
But everyone wants to
No one knows
But everyone wants to
No one knows
But everyone wants to
Everyone wants to know
