the night came down

the sky turned black

the jungle drum beat

the natives back

the voodoo idol stepped forward from the crowd

lightning split the sky and thunder shook the ground

he had coal black hair

and laser eyes

his pale white skin

against the darkened skies

seemed to say that the wind was at his call

then a silence fell as the idol said nothing at all

and then he raised his hands

the night stood still

he looked around at the crowd until

the voodoo doctor gave him a guitar

then they all bowed down

in the light of the voodoo star

and it sounded like this

and there he passed

through their hungry lips

his holy blessed sacrament

he spoke no words

but they all knew what it meant

yeah he rolled on the ground

and he danced while reading his hands

yeah and then he rolled his eyes

and sang from his heart

the jungle creatures

from near and far

came to lose their minds under his spell

and then what happened next to this day no one will tell

he sang voodoo

voodoo voodoo voodoo

he sang voodoo
