Voodoo Candle Lyrics
Caught between, between two worlds
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be fenced in
Caught between, between two worlds
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be fenced in
Scattered along the way must be some understanding
Handwritten skyline room for ideals ascending
It’s alright, it’s alright, I know that it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, I know that it’s alright
‘Cause I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
Packaged and put out, more or less dreaming
Later on business, low level screaming
Pell-mell from the committee of welcoming
Taste a different pattern, the blind frequency
It’s alright, it’s alright, I know that it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright, I know that it’s alright
‘Cause I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
Caught between, between two worlds
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be fenced in
Caught between, between two worlds
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be fenced in
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be fenced in
Caught between, between two worlds
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be fenced in
Handwritten skyline room for ideals ascending
It’s alright, it’s alright, I know that it’s alright
‘Cause I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
Later on business, low level screaming
Pell-mell from the committee of welcoming
Taste a different pattern, the blind frequency
It’s alright, it’s alright, I know that it’s alright
‘Cause I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
I’ve got a voodoo candle
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be fenced in
Caught between, between two worlds
Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be fenced in

To me this song brings to mind a general sense of being "lost" or jaded in some way, as though it takes faith (maybe even superstition) to convince yourself that things will eventually become clear: "scattered along the way must be some understanding."
I have a feeling I'm one of the 12 or so people who remember this song's brief radio play...I think I remember it because its meaning resonated with me when I did hear it. I was nearly at the end of college at that point (caught between two worlds, if you will) and about to run across a serious quarter-life crisis.
