The New Tomorrow Lyrics
Clairvoyant divination
A hoax no one could write
Absorbing information
Sleeping on Bibles at night
Edgar never took a dollar
In loosening his collar
In a state of self-hypnosis
He makes his diagnosis
Yes, we see the body of my love
Oh, my love
Christian mystic, x-ray vision
A trance by graded mind
His eyelids start to flutter
Read the headlines spanning time
A moonlighting photographer
Gladys Davis, his stenographer
He dreamt a world war fire
Dreamt a river of Sahara
Yes, we see the body
Yes, we see the body of my love
Oh, my love
A hoax no one could write
Absorbing information
Sleeping on Bibles at night
Edgar never took a dollar
In loosening his collar
In a state of self-hypnosis
He makes his diagnosis
Oh, my love
A trance by graded mind
His eyelids start to flutter
Read the headlines spanning time
A moonlighting photographer
Gladys Davis, his stenographer
He dreamt a world war fire
Dreamt a river of Sahara
Yes, we see the body of my love
Oh, my love

This song is about Edgar Cayce, a famous Christian mystic and quack, as all mystics inevitably are. Gladys Davis was indeed Cayce's stenographer. Cayce predicted LA and San Fran would be destroyed sometime at the end of the 20th century. Obviously he was quite wrong. He also believed in Atlantis and a bunch of other nonsense, like that the Piltdown man was real (it was a hoax).
