Voodoo

I once told you - words don't teach.

Do you recall?

Here, now, before the fall
as we stand at the beginning of time
Now, as the world slowly becomes Mine
The Destroyer come
one last time
armed only with her delicious rhymes
her eternal sunshine
and summertime
that enzyme
of the crystalline
sublime

That dance
that romance
that effervescent chance
we took before the dawn
sprawled out across the lawn
like a premeditated papillon
come to spread its wings

Here we go...
builder of those finer things
never mind the sting
it's just one last kiss
that ultimate dismiss
of everything your heart's gonna miss

Me
and that abyss...
you mistook for bliss
can you hear 'em
how 'em snakes rattle and hiss
down on the bayou
Hey you...
always living askew
from what you knew you should do
when always
always
always
the voodoo
was in you.
