Thom premiered the song on november 1st 1993 on the Canadian TV program 'Musique Plus'. At this point the song was titled 'Three-Headed Street Spirit' and the "Immerse Your Soul In Love" ending had yet to be written:
rows of houses all bearing down on me
i can feel their location[?]
all these things into position
all these things will one day seek control
and fade out again
and fade out
this machine will, will not communicate
these thoughts and the strain I am under
be a world child, form a circle
before we all go [?]
and fade out again
and fade out again
cracked eggs, dead birds scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
all these things into position
all these things will one day take control
and fade out again
and fade out again
i can feel their location[?]
all these things into position
all these things will one day seek control
and fade out again
and fade out
this machine will, will not communicate
these thoughts and the strain I am under
be a world child, form a circle
before we all go [?]
and fade out again
and fade out again
cracked eggs, dead birds scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
all these things into position
all these things will one day take control
and fade out again
and fade out again
Thom said that the song was inspired by The Famished Road by Ben Okri. In that book there is a three-headed spirit that leads the main character down a road, so that's apparently where the title came from.
