lyrics

(I) Met a Voodoo Sensei
born in Mississippi
He was riding on moonlight
dancing with the gypsies
It was hard to tell
if she could realize what i was saying
i was speaking through a singing-bowl
and chanting what i shoulda been
but i shoulda been miles away
up high on the tightrope
chanting the name of God
although it could have been God you saw
speaking through the hourglass
looking at the time that pasted
although we should have been gone

And everything was miles apart
Leaving me in the middle
of the desert of your crimson dawn
just before the sun lifts it's head
back out of the blackness
where all things are dead

I met a blue-eyed beauty queen
walking cross the silver screen
I tried to realize my dreams
but all I got were broken things
although we coulda been a thing
you and me
yeah, we could have been a thing

And the devil's throwing curve-balls
trying to get you to fall
many should be made to crawl
but all you got to do is
call upon your brother
when you need some help or comfort
there are many here among us
who would lend their hands in struggle
if it gets too hard to handle
all you have to do is
ask and you shall receive

I'm gonna thank the sun
whether it's risin'
whether it's sinkin'
could you dispel my disbelief
in all the beautiful things I'm seeing
and all of god's creation
will rise up to the occasion

Indigo Children
I know you know when
we gonna begin
re-birthing the nations
(I) Met a Voodoo Sensei
