Voodoo City

Lyrics

[Incomprehensible]
 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 Iceman 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
 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
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo City
