The Lyrics
you're holdin' rites at night
you're drinkin' blood and burnin' candles
you're fillin' me with fright
these acts of yours are hard to handle
if you'd just keep it indiscreet
but all you talk about is doom
you make my hell complete
when you start chantin' in the bedroom
well, you're obsessed with this thing
and you're haunted, too
you need to quell...
the way out voodoo things you do
(the way out voodoo things you do)
insane, is what you are
you are under some strange power
you have taken it too far
you get more crazy every hour
you ate a baboon's heart
you know that monkey had a sad look
you tore that beast apart
you said you saw it in a cookbook
well, you're obsessed with this thing
and you're haunted, too
you need to quell...
the way out voodoo things you do
(the way out voodoo things you do)
you cause the dead to twitch
you know you're good at makin' zombies
their skin begins to itch
and when they wake up, they get hungry
well, you're obsessed with this thing
and you're haunted, too
you need to quell...
the way out voodoo things you do
(the way out voodoo things you do)
you really liked your little treat
(the way out voodoo things you do)
you thought it tasted sweet
(the way out voodoo things you do)
you know it just ain't right
(the way out voodoo things you do)
he fought with all his might
(the way out voodoo things you do)
but when he lost the fight
(the way out voodoo things you do)
it was a gruesome sight
(the way out voodoo things you do)
you're drinkin' blood and burnin' candles
you're fillin' me with fright
these acts of yours are hard to handle
if you'd just keep it indiscreet
but all you talk about is doom
you make my hell complete
when you start chantin' in the bedroom
well, you're obsessed with this thing
and you're haunted, too
you need to quell...
the way out voodoo things you do
(the way out voodoo things you do)
insane, is what you are
you are under some strange power
you have taken it too far
you get more crazy every hour
you ate a baboon's heart
you know that monkey had a sad look
you tore that beast apart
you said you saw it in a cookbook
well, you're obsessed with this thing
and you're haunted, too
you need to quell...
the way out voodoo things you do
(the way out voodoo things you do)
you cause the dead to twitch
you know you're good at makin' zombies
their skin begins to itch
and when they wake up, they get hungry
well, you're obsessed with this thing
and you're haunted, too
you need to quell...
the way out voodoo things you do
(the way out voodoo things you do)
you really liked your little treat
(the way out voodoo things you do)
you thought it tasted sweet
(the way out voodoo things you do)
you know it just ain't right
(the way out voodoo things you do)
he fought with all his might
(the way out voodoo things you do)
but when he lost the fight
(the way out voodoo things you do)
it was a gruesome sight
(the way out voodoo things you do)
