This strange song tells the story of a teenager listening to the sounds of Hell itself through a possessed stereo system. It expresses a theme prevalent throughout the album: that music can have power over its listener (see also “Over Elvis Worship”).
I'm only 14
My head's within the clutches of sin
Got skulls on my wall
I've got a goatskin rug
I've got a possessed stereo with an earphone plug
I put the phones up on my head
Get really stoned, freak out on my bed
I listen to forbidden sound
Which comes deep beneath the ground
I listen to forbidden songs
Which show me nothing
Sing along
Voodoo dolls, crystal balls
And all the answers to these things
Lie in the song
Magic spells
Messages from hell
All these things and more
Playing on my possessed stereo
But will I hurt?
I listen to forbidden sound
Which comes deep beneath the ground
I listen to forbidden songs
Which show me nothing
Sing along
