Well I'm a voodoo child, Lord knows I'm a voodoo child.

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 see'd her fell down right dead

Well mountains lions found me there waiting

And set me on a eagle's back

Well mountains lions found me there

And set me on a eagle's wing

It's the eagle's wing baby

What'd I say !

Well ah he took me past the outskirts of infinity

And when he brought me back, he gave me Venus witch's ring.

And he said fly on

Fly on, 'cause I'm a voodoo chile baby

Voodoo chile.

Well I make love to you

And Lord knows you feel no pain

Yeah !

Say I make love to you in your sleep

And Lord knows you felt no pain

Have mercy babe

'Cause I'm a million miles away

And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame.

What'd I say now!

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child.

Well my arrows are made of desire, from far away is Jupiter sulpher mines

Say my arrows are made of desire, desire, from far away is Jupiter sulpher mines

Way down by the Methane sea

I have a hummin' bird that'll hum so loud, you'd think you were ah loosin' your mind.

Well I float in liquid gardens

And Arizona new red sand

I'm floatin' in liquid gardens

Way down in Arizona red sand

Well I'll taste the honey from a flower named blue

Way down in California and the New York drowns as we held hands.

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child.
