Voodoo

next song/previous song

The garden looked so rosy
I was feeling so wild and free
Now I can never get away
I can hear the dogs after me

Who directed the voodoo?
Who connected the ball and chain?
And what became of my finest hour?

The song that I nearly wrote
I was sure that the tune would come
I had all the words then
Now all I can do is hum

Who directed the voodoo?
Who connected the ball and chain?
And what became of my finest hour?

I didn't want so much
But I'm holding out for more
I never felt the punch
But I'm halfway to the floor
Well I must've fallen foul
Of some old Egyptian curse
The tarot looks so bad
And my luck keeps getting worse

I’m pushing boulders up the hill
Feel like I must take my rest
I’m trying hard past overkill
Who's to say that I'm past my best?

Who directed the voodoo?
Who connected the ball and chain?
And what became of my finest hour?

What became of my finest hour?
