Madame Blavatsky

by Wasted Wine

/

lyrics

In the modern age it’s all the rage
Dabbling with forces mysterious and motley
Whether it’s yoga or tarot or astral travel it all goes
Back to a woman named madame blavatsky

In her own way she was some say
As revolution’ry as lenin or trotsky
No one ever caused such tumult in the world of the occult
As the mysterious madame blavatsky

Theater lights would dim at night
The orchestra would play allegro vivace
“Gentlemen ladies boys and girls your guide into the spirit world
The famed helena petrovna blavatsky”

And she could speak of great mahatmas and divines
And make a single snow white rose appear
With just her mind
Her mind!

There was alarm on a Vermont farm
Where phantom forms attracted press and paparazzi
No one could seem to quell the haunts til who showed up at the seance?
It was none other than madame blavatsky

A man of law had just one flaw
Collecting esoteric trinkets and tchotchkes
He had a wife and children four but their pleadings he ignored
For Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Now HPB had oft decreed
That she’d unite science religion and philos’phy
Writing for six weeks without fail produced a book, Isis Unveiled
Soon everyone was reading madame blavatsky

From academics to the military brass
You’ve never seen such a commotion
In the great and goodly of the urban middle class

But even gods resort to frauds
When people say “I’ve seen it all and nothing shocks me”
When a society’s report made her the scandal of New York
Then there was trouble for madame blavatsky

So she grew frail her body ailed
She was afflicted with tumors and dropsy
A ship departed New Year’s Eve but many left behind believed
There had been something about madame blavatsky
