Of Hierophants and HermitsOne should hope that when the end of days draw close Inexplicably you'll ask yourself what you have to show A life of devotion, emotion, promotion, coercion or any of the above?

Oh wo-oh yowI remember when I was young enough to wear dresses everyday, I used to walk in what would be a gutter, that is, if I had understood the concept of trash at an age like that, and when their were puddles, and in them the moon slid, I would always wonder if I looked up it would be the same moon, or if there was something deeper inside the puddles, that as a girl I was not allowed to step in.Oh wo-oh yow
There was a world I wasn't sure of, a reason that escaped me, despite its binding structure on my entire waking life. I wonder now if I had jumped into that puddle, if I would be any differnt today?
