Voodoo Chile
Well, I'm a voodoo chile
Lord, I'm a voodoo chile
Well, the night I was born
Lord, I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out "Lord, the gypsy was right"
And I've seen her, fell down right dead
(Have mercy)
Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on a eagle's back
Well, mountain lions found me there
And set me on a eagle's wing
(It's the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
Well uh, he took me past to the outskirts of infinity
And when he brought me back
He gave me a 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 make love to you
And Lord knows you'll feel no pain
Say, I'll make love to you in your sleep
And Lord knows you felt no pain
(Have mercy)
'Cause 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?)
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines
Way down by the Methane Sea, yeah
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud
You think you were losing your mind, hmm
Well I float in liquid gardens
And Arizona new red sand
(Yeah)
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in Arizona red sand
Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue
Way down in California
And the New York drowns as we hold hands
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
Yeah
Lord, I'm a voodoo chile
Well, the night I was born
Lord, I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out "Lord, the gypsy was right"
And I've seen her, fell down right dead
(Have mercy)
Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on a eagle's back
Well, mountain lions found me there
And set me on a eagle's wing
(It's the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
Well uh, he took me past to the outskirts of infinity
And when he brought me back
He gave me a 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 make love to you
And Lord knows you'll feel no pain
Say, I'll make love to you in your sleep
And Lord knows you felt no pain
(Have mercy)
'Cause I'm a million miles away

Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
Yeah
