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
