Lyrics
DRIVIN' IN THE VOODOO LANE
Mad Fortune Tellers emerge from my cellar
To prophesize Gremlins ‘n Trolls
Sick Cement Mixers
With torn out transistors
Compete with the Ghetto Kings’ tones
Your Spoils of Magic, Saturn’s Patterns
Are stacked in my Three Deuce Goat
But your Cloak, your Wand,
And your Book of Spells
Remain lost in the Voodoo Zone
Your light gray Mercedes
Flips a quick 180
Drivin’ down the wrong lane
Headin’ up the freeway
Old Volks on the wagon
Follow blindly, braggin’,
We are speedin’ in the Voodoo Lane
Verses of curses from Ambulance Nurses
Drown out the Thunder and the Rain
Obeah’s Ferrari makes him quite sorry
He’s chosen the Voodoo Lane
I’m forced to slip Fivers
To Bulldozer Drivers
Who drive badly while
They chat on their Phones
They’re replaced by a Toothless Werewolf
But he can gum ya to Death
And he’ll swallow ya whole
I meet the Thousand Pound Lad
In the Tall, Brown Ford
He’s a Master of Machetes,
But I still Honk my Horn
He claims he'll kill me,
I’d take his Word
But he Exits from the Voodoo Lane
Higher Horsepowers devour the Flowers
Agents on pension/Honorable Mention
Fake Studebakers showcase their Makers
Lights flash Big Brother’s Poems
Red Baron stalks a trail
Dodge fills up the jail
Mister Buick tracks his Cadillac home
But across the Street
They’re less than Snails
They’ve got the Force
And yet they Fail
They’re Refugees from the Voodoo Zone
So the Nation’s Gas Stations
Fund Investigations
Until they clear out the Slow Side of Town
Giants of Steel peel old Oldsmobiles
Limousines ease into the flow…
Hell yes,
Their Speakers blast our Leader’s Speech
She’s the Saviour of the Voodoo Homes
It’s a much different day, a beautiful day
To navigate the Voodoo Zone
A Double-decker Carriage
Advertises The Marriage
Of Brigadier General Motors and Rome,
As well as Wildcat Witchcraft,
Arrows an’ Ashes,
The Puzzle of Henry Ford’s bones
Tunnelled Pollution
Spells out “Constitution”
Put some Lawyers in the Voodoo Brain
Build a Fence ‘round the Highway,
It’s a Mad Institution
Helicopters can’t keep Demons at bay
Oh yes, it’s a Very Good Year
A Very Goodyear
For Life in the Voodoo Lane
Railroaders watchin’
The Hondas all flockin’
To the Dangers inside
The Freeway talkin’ to me
Oh, my Muddy Mirror’s crystal clear
Compared to what’s ahead
Let Toyota’s quotas pile
Camel set the style
I’m still depressed for the Voodoo Zone
As a Dead Coronado squirts Oil and Water,
And Smoke at the Highway Patrol
Firestones shatter, Windowpanes splatter
Battery Acid Explooooooooodes
Bean Haulin’ Scholars
Sleep just half an hour
Till Time drags ‘em Back to the Road
Designate drivers
Taxi Survivors on to the Far Cabarets
Unrighteous Spirits pop open my eardrums
Like a 12-Pack o’ Harleys
A’squeakin’ their brakes
There’s no shortage o’ Virgins
In the Voodoo Lane
Oodles o’ Noodles, Plenty o’ Knaves
If I wake up again
Under Prison in the Jam
I’m for early Armageddon,
I’m the Grim Car Man
I’m Poison, you mix Poison
The Blood we fix is just a trick
Poisons, mixing Poisons
Smoke in the Voodoo Lane
Some foresee a re-emergence
Of the Evil Seatbelt Serpents
Bringin’ Dancin’ back into the Lane
There’s a Bridge above about to crack
The Cat who’s prayin’ in Godzilla’s name
But a Black Mass of Pollution
In the Auto-Constitution
Is the Only Real Problem
For the Voodoo Lane
Poison, we mix poison
Smokin’ the Voodoo Lane
