Voodoo Candle Lyrics

Cover art for Voodoo Candle lyrics by Jay Farrar

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.
