B CHORD WITH INTRO REPEATING THROUGH VERSE
You're like Voodoo baby,
You just take hold.
Put your cards on the table baby,
Do I twist, do I fold?
You're like Voodoo Honey,
All silver and gold.
Why don't you tell me my future?
Why don't I sell you my soul?

Here comes the drums, here comes the drums.

Your kisses are cold.
Feel your poison running through me,
Let me never grow old.

My pictures you stole.
You play me like a puppet,
Sticking pins in a doll.
