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 her, feel down right dead.
(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on an eagles back.
Well, mountain lions found me there,
and set me on an eagle's wing.
(It's the eagle's wing, baby, what did I say?)
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, yeah, voodoo chile.
Hey!

Well, I make love to you,
and Lord knows you'll feel no pain.
Say, I 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 there in your picture frame.
(Yeah! What did I say now?)
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile.
Lord knows, I'm a voodoo chile.
(Yeah!)

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, hmmm...

Well, I float in liquid gardens
in Arizona new red sand.
(Yeah!)
I float in liquid gardens,
way down in Arizona red new sand.

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue,
way down in California.
And in New York drowns as we hold hands.

'Caus EI'm a voodoo chile.
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile.
