I have always found Dio's music and lyrics to carry subtle occult meanings. For me this song reminds me of an occult practice known as pathworking, which is a form of soul projection, but used for traveling to different dimensions. In the song Strange Highways, where he says 'sometimes I crawl inside myself and ride into the wind' just sounds to me like this type of occult experience. Also, the lyrics referring to - 'I want you number, we've got no answers, believe us anyway' seems to me to refer to the general 'religious right' who shun these types of occult practices, yet offers no other truth but demands our beliefs. There is much more deeper meaning to this song, but I believe this is the gist of it...at least for me.
