No Picture ~Ivy Loves Shav Rhythm Player	#1 by ~Ivy Loves Shavo~ at Mar 2, 1971 at 6:54 AM EST
	The Al Sirat behind a wardrobe of eunuchs The al sirat is the pleasure that he will recieve from the woman when they have sex. But he hasta get by the guards to get to the harem. Mononucleosis is "the kissing disease"

No Picture Zac Wanna Be	#2 by Zac Fielder at Apr 19, 1974 at 3:17 PM EST
	nahh not at all...well to tell the truth i dont know. its a cool song though. i mean ataxia means muscle sorness...and opiate copulation means sex...so i dunno

No Picture Matt Wanna Be	#3 by Matt Sakrosky at Mar 19, 1980 at 3:46 AM EST

No Picture black Rhythm Player	#5 by black rose at Jul 9, 1984 at 8:18 PM EST
	mononucleosis, a sometimes sexually transmitted disease is mentioned in this song, hellping to reinforce yugaguantos' interpretation.

No Picture Bryant Wanna Be	#6 by Bryant Matthews at Dec 18, 1988 at 11:47 AM EST
	damn people good analysing this very complex song... maybe ill just ask cedric what it means and see who gets close to it

No Picture Laurence Average	#7 by Laurence Alam at Aug 11, 1996 at 4:04 PM EST
	I think I have an idea what this song is about. Al Sirat is, I think, the Islamic path (a razor sharp bridge) to paradise. The Padisha is the title for king, possibly middle eastern. Demimonde lice would be woman who are socialy removed because of sexual misconduct. Ataxia refers to fatigued mucsles, and opiate copulation refers to drugged intercourse. I think the song is actually talking about the sin of premarital sex. You revoke your chances to enter paradise, unless you are like the eunuch. that is where the bridge to paradise hides, in his clothing. The nasty sores of Ataxia, could be v.d. so now you must be drugged before sexual contact, only to get crabs again. It's a tricky situation, you want to hve sex before marraige, but for some thats almost impossible. I think I'm getting close to the meaning here, any other ideas.
