Paddy came down to Voodoo City   Met a lady on Bourbon Street   She was dark, she was beautiful   Swept that boy right off his feet     Runnin' from the man in New York City   I fled down south to beat the chill   But the Ice Man had me in his sights   For one too many unpaid bills     Oh oh oh oh voodoo city   Oh oh oh oh voodoo world   Oh oh oh oh voodoo city   For God sakes keep your hands off my voodoo girl     Marie Laveau was the lady in question   I fell beneath her crescent spell   Nights spent drinkin' in the Quarter   Soon turned into a living hell     She said she knew how to protect me   From all the evil in my past   But New York is not scorned so easy   Iceman tracked me down at last     Oh oh oh oh voodoo city   Oh oh oh oh voodoo world   Oh oh oh oh voodoo city   For God sakes keep your hands off my voodoo girl     Moonlight on the lazy river   Mist around the old gaslight   Heard his footsteps on Toulouse Street   Disappear into the creole night     Candle waver on the altar   Marie, she dance on the naked floor   Flame light up her sacred body   I hear a key turn in the door     I scream at her "you have betrayed me"   The hurt explodes inside her eyes   She throws herself across my body   The bullet chokes her voodoo cries     A raven rises from her body   The Iceman stares in disbelief   I crash through her garret window   Race like fire down Bourbon Street
