My Voodoo Doll
Her skin is rough white cloth
Any moment, she can fall apart
She has thousands of colourful pins
Sticking out of her heart
Used for worrisome purposes
A form of dangerous revenge
Just stick a pin in and wish
And you’ll never see your foe again
Little voodoo doll, hanging up so high
You were once a child’s play toy
You hold the most power in the world
The pain you cause, do you enjoy?
Dolly so pale, dolly so calm, I need a favour
I must stick a pin right through your heart
And make the most gruesome wish
If you prefer, I can throw a few darts
Dear voodoo doll, all I ask of you is this
As soon as I stick the pin, make her writhe in pain
Make her regret everything she has done
That’s hurt me and left me crying in the rain
I understand it’s wrong, and it never will be right
But for now you’re my precious pearl
And you’ll do as I write, no matter the result
Now I’ll stick the pin in you, my dear voodoo girl
