Voodoo Lady

(album: The Distance To Here - 1999)

light up a cigarette she said
and calm the fuck down
you got a serious side to you
that could give the whole world a frown
now nothing really matters to me you see
check out these holes in my gown
let your eyes lose their focus a little
let your guard come down

i was thirsty for everything
but water wasn't my style
guess we might have to teach me something
guess we might have to show me how

now put out that cigarette she said
something ain't right in here
it's tied to the both of us, I ain't sure now, it isn't clear
we could have been born helpless children
begging for our next meal
I could be a voodoo lady, just a classy hooker
playing the field

classy holy hooker!!!
hey! I've made up my mind, yeah
I came to see your sign
disappear this morning but come back tonight

light up a cigarette she said
and calm the fuck down
relax and let your ears hear this beautiful song
that's hiding underneath the sound

underneath the sound!!!
I made up my mind
I came to see you fly
disappear this morning but come back tonight

voodoo lady
voodoo lady
voodoo lady
voodoo lady
I was thirsty for everything but blood, wasn't my style!
voodoo lady
did I dream you up or are you for real?
are you for real?
are you for real?
