Lyrics

Well I'm a vooodoo chile
Lord I'm a voodoo chile
Yeah

Well the night I was born
Lord I sware the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I sware the moon turned a fire red

Well, my poor mother cryin' out
"Oh lord the gypsy was right"
And I seen her fell down right dead
Have mercy

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there
And set me on the eagles wing
It's the eagles wing baby, what can I say?

He took my past the outskirts of infinity
And when he brought me back
He gave me venus witch's ring

Hey!
And he said "fly on"
Fly on because I'm a voodoo chile, baby
Voodoo chile, hey

Yeah!

Well I'll make love to you
And lord knows you'll feel no pain
I said I make love to you in your sleep
And lord knows you felt no pain, have mercy
Because I'm a million miles away
And at the same time
I'm right here in your picture frame

Yeah! what did I say now

Beacause I said I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Yeah!
Yeah, yeah turn it up
Yeah yeah

Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away jupiter is sulphur mines
I said my arrows are made of desire
Desire from far away as jupiter sulfur mines
Way down by the methane sea
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud
You think you were losing your mind

Yeah, yeah

Well, I float in liquid gardens
And arizona new red sand
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in arizona red sand
I taste the honey from the flower named blue
Way out in california
And then new york drowns as we hold hands

Yeah!
Hey

Because I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
Yeah!
