Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm a voodoo chile

Lord, I'm a voodoo chile

[Verse 2]

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)

[Verse 3]

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 eagles' wing

(It's the eagle's wing, baby, what did I say?)

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"

[Verse 4]

Because I'm a voodoo chile, yeah, voodoo chile

Hey!

[Verse 5]

Well, I make love to you

And Lord knows you'll feel no pain

Say, I make love to you in your sleep

And Lord knows you ain't 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?)

[Verse 6]

Because I'm a voodoo chile

Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Yeah!

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

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 in New York drowns as we hold hands

[Verse 9]

Because I'm a voodoo chile, Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Yeah!
