"Mystery Loves Company" - By Alphanaut

Track number six on "Out of Orbit" titled "Mystery Loves Company" is another that goes further back in my song writing catalog. Bringing this one into the Alphanaut universe was probably the most difficult and the song went through about half a dozen different personalities before I settled on this arrangement. As a matter of fact, just before the final mix of the song I ripped out the original drum track that Jorge laid down and programmed the current beats.

Lyrically, it's a tune I wrote after a heated debate with someone who had zealot-like religious beliefs and essentially doomed me to hell for not having the same convictions. Looking back on it from a more mature perspective, I'm not sure I got my point across as effectively as I could have, though there are elements of the lyric I still really like.

"Mystery Loves Company" Lyrics - By Alphanaut

Your hatred fears the secular mind
With the holy ghost you hide behind
The halls of truth are open wide
But you can choose the doors you hide behind
Cause your kind of virtue is no place I would hide in
I choose the housed I want to reside in

I can’t hold you up
You can’t hold me down
Mystery loves company when the best is not around
What’s hidden in the tea leaves
Or written in the stars
Mystery loves company no matter who you are

You read my mind
What a waste of your time
I blew your doors right off their hinges and gave you the answers
What do you want me to say
Je nes vous pas parlez
Is it am I, are you, did you, do you, can you think of something better to say

I can’t hold you up
You can’t hold me down
Mystery loves company when the best is not around
What’s hidden in the tea leaves
Or written in the stars
Mystery loves company no matter who you are
