Voodoo Chile

Lyrics

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
