Lyric

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 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 a eagles wing
It's the eagles 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"
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, yeah
Say I 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, yeah

Yeah, but I say now yeah

Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as Jupiter's sulfur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as Jupiter's sulfur 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

Turn that down, turn that down

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, yeah

Hey, 'cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile, yeah

(Yeah c'mon baby)
Yo, that was outta sight man, that was really outta sight

I can't make it
I think about that time, c'mon yo
Hey, there's no more drinks man?
(Aww, the bar's closed?)
