Текст песни The Hierophant, Reversed - Ludlow

Former lives in the back of the attic
Tape rewinds through a screen of static
Playing the movie back of 30 years
I could find the answer here
But do I have the time?

Dusty light, and I yank on the chain
Black and white and in a broken frame
Kind of funny, a bulb over my cluttered head
Is it here under the bed?
Did I live another life?

How would I know if I had found it?
Would somebody draw a heart around it
Like if a lover cut it out, surprised, from in her meal?
How would I know if I had found it?

Archimedes in the tub
Don't disturb my circles, love
Now he's running naked through the city streets
The water figured everything
"Eureka!" to the sky

How would I know if I had found it?
Would somebody draw circles around it?
Maybe I left it in Bellefontaine in an open field
How would I know if I had found it?

How long should I kneel beside the hierophant's cold feet?
What now? It's turned around; it's time to let me be
Maybe everything was easier
When it was face-down in a row

How would I know if I had found it?
Would somebody write my name around it
Singing over and aloud again, "M-A-R-K"?
How would I know if I had found it?
