Hoodoo Woman

[Intro: Heavy surface crackle, a sharp rhythmic "clack-clack-clack" of wood, a low-fidelity hum, a sudden high-pitched yelp, frantic "stuttering" guitar slap begins] [Verse 1: Frantic high-pitched vocals, breathless delivery] She got roots in her pocket… chicken bones in her hair Whispers in the dark, put a spell in the air One look from her eyes and my soul starts to burn Feet moving faster but the curse won’t turn (Lord!) [Chorus: Rhythmic shouting, dissonant slide guitar stabs] Hoodoo, hoodoo, running from her charm Hoodoo, hoodoo, trying to stay unharmed Faster than her mojo, quicker than her hex But that woman’s got me tangled up next! (Hup!) [Verse 2: Guitar rhythm becomes more chaotic and percussive] Graveyard dirt on the floor, black cat at her feet She laughs while I’m stumbling to the dirty street Every step I take I hear her voodoo call Trying to break free but I’m losing it all [Bridge: Frantic, half-spoken over sharp rhythmic string-slaps] Crossroads can’t save me… rabbit foot done lied… (I’m coming undone!) [Final Chorus: Maximum energy, vocal yelps and shouting] Hoodoo, hoodoo, she’s still in my head Hoodoo, hoodoo, I shoulda stayed in bed Faster, harder, but the spell won’t break That hoodoo woman got me wide awake! [Outro: A frantic series of dissonant slide notes, three sharp guitar slaps, a final breathless groan fading into heavy wax-cylinder noise]
