Lyrics

I settled in to being just an
Element in somebody else’s
Pot of stew
Merely a whiff of flavoring
To amplify an accent in a witches’ brew

Was it truly fate that cast me
As a supernumerary
In the wings?
Would there ever come a day when I could
Play the main attraction in the scheme of things?

They’d know me as the icing on a fancy cake
Or similar confection
I’d try to bring a hint of vintage
Hoping it would border on perfection

But now I understand that
Constellations cannot tell me
Who I ought to be
I get to choose the way I am
Instead of following a charted destiny

No stars and no moon, no rising sign
No stars and no moon, no rising sign
No stars and no moon, no rising sign
(No moon at all)

Could it have been a demon spell
That held me in a well of inhibition
That was broken by a cosmic force
That led to later recognition?

What if it led to fame
Would I really want to try it?
I’ll sing my song of planetary influence
And never buy it

No stars and no moon, no rising sign
(Nobody ever told me that I needed to be somebody…)
No stars and no moon, no rising sign
No stars and no moon, no rising sign
No rising sign
(repeat)

Nobody ever told me that I needed to be someone else’s background

Spellbound in the background
No moon, no moon no rising sign
Spellbound
