Voodoo Blues
If you feel all strung out
And can’t figure what it’s all about,
Put a little black
Magic in your life;
If that bitch has you down
And you can do nothing but frown,
Promise Satan your soul and
Pay him back when you die;
You drift on empty days
And your mind is an endless maze,
Flip the tarot card and see
What chance has planned for you;
The undertaker marks you D.O.A.
But it doesn’t mean you have to stay,
Bid the world goodbye
And step into purgatory;
The witch uncovers her crystal ball,
Look inside with no care at all,
The guillotine waits
Smiling above your head;
Get high on magic bud
Or get drunk on chickens blood,
A rabid dog says,
“No one gets out of life alive.”
You travel far from heaven,
Near midnight, it’s half past eleven,
You think you’re so evil,
That’s why you’re a friend of mine;
You welcome blind darkness
And lay down with any mistress,
Retribution waits for
You come judgement day;
Your only companionship
Is a permanent drug trip,
A rotting corpse looks
Like a long lost friend;
You have a taste for suicide,
You run but don’t want to hide,
Whistle in the mist in
A moonlit graveyard;
Holy demons in your sight,
Let them in without a fight,
Your only hope is in the
Hands of the black angel;
If the bloody thorn crown fits
Then don’t even try to fight it,
Just let the blood
Wash out your eyes;
A zombie takes your hand
To lead you to the promised land,
Walk with the dead so
You can find your soul;
Latin wind blows your hair,
Death lurks behind but you don’t care,
You love living in the land of
The serpent and his legions;
This pot of bloody gold
Makes your hearts blood run cold,
The prince of darkness
Rubs his waiting hands;
Live for this day,
Karma will get you anyway,
Someone holds a voodoo doll in
The shape of your dreams . . .
