Voodoo City |
Paddy came down to Voodoo City |
Met a lady on Bourbon Street |
She was dark, she was beautiful |
Swept that boy right off his feet |
Runnin' from the man in New York City |
I fled down south to beat the chill |
But the Ice Man had me in his sights |
For one too many unpaid bills |
Oh oh oh oh voodoo city |
Oh oh oh oh voodoo world |
Oh oh oh oh voodoo city |
For God sakes keep your hands off my voodoo girl |
Marie Laveau was the lady in question |
I fell beneath her crescent spell |
Nights spent drinkin' in the Quarter |
Soon turned into a living hell |
She said she knew how to protect me |
From all the evil in my past |
But New York is not scorned so easy |
Iceman tracked me down at last |
Oh oh oh oh voodoo city |
Oh oh oh oh voodoo world |
Oh oh oh oh voodoo city |
For God sakes keep your hands off my voodoo girl |
Moonlight on the lazy river |
Mist around the old gaslight |
Heard his footsteps on Toulouse Street |
Disappear into the creole night |
Candle waver on the altar |
Marie, she dance on the naked floor |
Flame light up her sacred body |
I hear a key turn in the door |
I scream at her «you have betrayed me» |
The hurt explodes inside her eyes |
She throws herself across my body |
The bullet chokes her voodoo cries |
A raven rises from her body |
The Iceman stares in disbelief |
I crash through her garret window |
Race like fire down Bourbon Street |
