[Verse 1]
Red wax drips
On cracked bone china
Graveyard mud
In a rusted tin
Candles hiss
Like they know my name
In the bayou dark
She begins her hymn
[Chorus]
Voodoo queen of New Orleans
She’s calling
Calling me
Through the smoke
Through the screams
She’s carving on my dreams
Voodoo queen of New Orleans
My blood runs cold and green
I’m yours
I’m yours
Voodoo queen of New Orleans
[Verse 2]
Shadow hands
On the peeling walls
Dead men dance
When she starts to sway
Black lace veil
Hides a thousand wars
Soft low chant
Tears my doubt away
[Chorus]
Voodoo queen of New Orleans
She’s calling
Calling me
Through the smoke
Through the screams
She’s carving on my dreams
Voodoo queen of New Orleans
My blood runs cold and green
I’m yours
I’m yours
Voodoo queen of New Orleans (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
Ghosts crowd in
Like a congregation
Witches spin
In slow rotation
She smiles once
Says
“You’re mine by dawn”
Snaps that thread
And my fear is gone
[Chorus]
Voodoo queen of New Orleans
She’s calling
Calling me
Through the smoke
Through the screams
She’s carving on my dreams
Voodoo queen of New Orleans
My blood runs cold and green
I’m yours
I’m yours
Voodoo queen of New Orleans (voo-doo, voodoo)
