1st off - the lyrics quoted above are wrong, the most obvious being that it's not "Cat on I ?" it's "Kite on Ice since the 1st of February". 2nd - though the actual meaning of the song often depends on it's context within the set, the most common meaning I've experienced is one of being frustrated with the SLOW process of change and the people and circumstances that are blocking the way. Sometimes it seems like Cosmic Charlie might be the hope of reincarnation allowing us to "come back this way again" to witness the change we hope for now, like a realization that the BIG change we visualized at the start can not be achieved within our current life times, but "maybe I'll be back here too, it all depends on what's with you.... New ones coming as the old ones go, and everything is moving much too slowly. A little bit quicker and we might have time to say "how do you do" before the end of time." This song is ultimately about the COSMIC wheel turning, about the evolution of consciousness, the transition between MAJOR paradigms of belief in a constant process of growth, and how LONG the process takes when you look at it from a human point of view.
