Might be a story you read in a book   'Bout a irl who drank from the devil's cup   Might be someone you know so well   Just might be me, you never can tell      Le dame Laveau burning at the stake   You're the hero but just a little bit too late   Might be you, might be me   Might be some gris gris that you just can't see      Spirits in the bedroom   Candles in the hall   Shadows on the ceiling   Don't answer the call      I'm gonna take you back   I'm gonna take you way back   And give you all that you can stand   I'm gonna give you all that you can stand      Fires off the coast of Martinique   Stories you've heard, you dare not speak   Down on a rampart, you don't go alone   Might be an angel of mercy   Might be a black cat bone      Echoes in the stairwell   Curtains start to blow   Sugar, honey, a touch of steel   There's something you should know      I'm gonna take you back   I'm gonna take you way back   And give you all that you can stand   I'm gonna give you all that you can stand      Dance Colinda on St. John's Eve   Bells on her ankles makes you believe   Good time dresses on Lake Pontchartrain   A vision in the rain      Spirits in the bedroom   Candles in the hall   Shadows on the ceiling   Don't answer the call      I'm gonna take you back   I'm gonna take you way back   And give you all that you can stand   I'm gonna give you all that you can stand
