Charles Douglas - Ancient Mysteries lyrics

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
