(Legba!)

(Get it.)

Down off of Rampart, there's a little hideaway
And if you've got a brave heart, well come and visit any day.
There's a princess,
named Celeste,
eyes like fire, her hair's a mess,
incense burning, 
my luck is turning,
I can't tell, but I'm under her spell.

I gotta go, don't know where,
I'm tired and I'm sick of living scared.
Get to shaking and I can't stop,
I live upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.
Voodoo shoppe, voodoo shoppe, I'm livin' upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.  
A voodoo shoppe, a voodoo shoppe...

Pale horse a'ridin', and you can hear the rooster crow,
there ain't no use in hidin', from something you can never know.
And if you're lookin' deep inside you, you'll be running with nowhere to go,
there's midnight, before and after,
good and evil, tears and laughter,
spirits who want, spirits who would
spirits who ain't never gonna do no good.

I gotta go, don't know where,
I'm tired and I'm sick of living scared.
Get to shaking and I can't stop,
I live upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.
Voodoo shoppe, voodoo shoppe, I'm livin' upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.  
A voodoo shoppe, a voodoo shoppe, yeah...

If you don't see me,
there's no gris-gris,
I'm just sleepin' here.
I'm in a trance, 
and there's a chance that I might disappear.

(Backing voodoo chant by John Boutté)

Voodoo shoppe, voodoo shoppe, I'm livin' upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.  
A voodoo shoppe, a voodoo shoppe, I'm livin' upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.  
A voodoo shoppe, a voodoo shoppe, I'm livin' upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.  
A voodoo shoppe, a voodoo shoppe, I'm livin' upstairs from a voodoo shoppe!

A voodoo shoppe, a voodoo shoppe, I'm livin' upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.  
A voodoo shoppe, a voodoo shoppe, I'm livin' upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.  
A voodoo shoppe, a voodoo shoppe, I'm livin' upstairs from a voodoo shoppe.  
A voodoo shoppe, a voodoo shoppe 

(St John's St.)
