The Voodoo Walk

When the heat stops you sleeping at night
And the dead leaves rustle around
And the calmness keeps you awake
And you pace around the room
That’s the zombie in you manifesting itself
And you cry out loud and nobody can help
And it’s a one way sign to the gates of hell
And there’s no way back
No, there’s no way back
Ain’t no wonder you can’t sleep at night
You just heard the voodoo call
So you pace around, do the zombie crawl
And you shuffle around in the prison cell
Doing the voodoo walk, dancing with yourself
And you just can’t blame
The zombie inside of you
Or the voodoo curse hanging over you
Or the zombie walk, like an old soft shoe
Where the voodoo man’s talking inside of you
Doing the voodoo walk, voodoo walk
Ain’t no evil spirits round here
Or zombie people or demons with pointy ears
Ain’t no spooks waiting to appear
Doing the voodoo walk
Talking the voodoo talk
Or the voodoo howl
Doing the voodoo walk, voodoo walk
Voodoo walk, voodoo walk
Doing the voodoo walk, voodoo walk
And the days are like living in hell
You’re not well but you just did it to yourself
You know the look
You can tell by that haunted stare
You’re never quite here
You’re never quite really there
And the cemetery’s empty
'Cos the zombies are everywhere
Doing the voodoo walk
Talking the voodoo talk
Or the voodoo howl
Doing the voodoo walk
Doing the voodoo walk
Talking the voodoo talk
Or the voodoo growl
Doing the voodoo walk
