Dancing with Voodoo: A Tale of Temptation and Betrayal
Lyrics
Mama told me people judge you by the way you walk

But I've always gotten by with the way I talk

Yeah she caught me in the act and now my worst fears are real
The voodoo woman caught the speaker in a compromising situation, confirming their worst fears.
Oh no
An expression of distress or realization of a troubling situation.
Another sin

Another pin
Allusion to a voodoo doll with the mention of another pin.
Here it comes again
The recurrence of a challenging situation.
I can't escape her hands
The speaker feels trapped and unable to avoid the influence of the voodoo woman.
She's no friend
The voodoo woman is not a genuine friend to the speaker.
How far can I bend

Before I just give in

I should of known better than to buy her a drink

But the way she looked at me it made me shrink

Yeah she was a mind game player seein' me in pain was part of the fun

Where you can't trust what you see

It's beautiful the way she deceives

She draws you in by selling you your dreams

I thought that she was just a fan

But I'm a doll hanging in the back of her van now
