Lyrics
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN, YEAH MY LIFE WAS RUNNIN? DOWN. BUT I JUST KEPT TRYIN? TO SET MYSELF FREE. (SACRIFICE!) I DID THE VOODOO, ?HELLO, YOU STRANGE BREW.? ?WHO GOT ME DRINKIN THIS BLACK -HEARTED TEA??
(CHORUS)
(BUT,) WHEN YOU VOODOO, YOU DO THE WHO DO YOU RUN THROUGH THE GARDEN IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT. (SACRIFICE!)
AND IN THE VOODOO, THAT?S WHEN YOU COME TO THE CHILLING
COMPREHENSION THAT YOUR LOOSING YOUR SIGHT.
(BRIDGE)
DON?T YOU CHANGE MY WORLD ON ME ... X2
I MET A WOMAN, AND AT NINETY-SEVEN,TOLE ME, ?BOY, BETTER GET ON OUT OF THIS MESS!? SHE ROLLED THE BONES AND REFUSED AT INTERMISSION WOULDN'T SHARE THE BOURBON THERE INSIDE OF HER DRESS. (SANCTIFY!, SEE,...) (DON?T YOU CHANGE MY WORLD ON ME!) (CHORUS)
DON?T YOU CHANGE MY WORLD ON ME ... X2
WENT TO A PREACHER, ?TEACHER WON?T YOU TELL ME ?BOUT THE SAINTS AND ALL THE TROUBLE THEY FACED?? BUT HE DEFERRED , TO A NUEVO-PSUEDO-KINDA-CLAP-TRAP THAT A SALLY-JESSE-RAFAEL MIGHT SAY. (?BOY,...?) (CHORUS) (SOLO 1, STARTING ON THE 4)
(INTRO/OUTRO)
WHO DO YOU VOODOO TO? WHO DO YOU VOODOO?
WHO DO YOU DO IT TO? WHO DO YOU VOODOO? (CHORUS)
WENT TO THE MIRROR,?MIRROR, MIRROR, WON?T YOU TELL ME, WHO THE FAIREST, AND DESERVING IN TOWN?? (HOT!) THE MIRROR LAUGHING, SAID IN TOTAL LACK OF INHIBITION, ?LIKE TO TELL YA BUT NOBODY?S AROUND!? (? ?CAUSE,...?) (CHORUS) (SOLO 2, STARTING ON THE 1)
NO MORE CONNECTION PAPER FROM THE LAWYER, BABY DONE HER LAST ?FUCK YOU? TO ME. SEEMS MY AFFECTION NEVER HELD AN OUNCE OF WATER, BUT I?M GETTING BETTER AS I SET MYSELF FREE.
