Here goes -- this underrated MASTERPIECE is clearly a song about religion (SEVERAL religious references), but more specifically questioning how our religious beliefs affect our lives. Shindell's time in a seminary most certainly taught him that he was supposed to think and act a certain way - when - in an apologetic tone - he would rather be able to think freely or - "be changed back to a witch. Fly around not wearing a stitch. I give it freely". Life would be so simple (do re mi, 123) if we could just exist without being forced into these beliefs and all live free (no one bound). This is one of the greatest songs ever written, and I'm devastated in took me so look to discover it
