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
