[Verse 1]
I'm hung up on a wire so thin
Tearing out what's been trapped in
My puppet strings, been pulled too tight
I can see the real me's going to be a bloody fight
[Refrain]
I'm your Voodoo doll, don't you hear my call
I'm your Voodoo doll, headed for a fall
[Verse 2]
Trying so hard to forget
Got my bottles, got my pills, got my TV set
I'm imprisoned by my passion, I'm a slave to my trade
How can you be so possessed by the profits that you make?
[Chorus]
I live for love where love's insane
I need to numb to ease the pain
When the end begins again
Needles, needles, I stick them in
[Refrain]
I'm your Voodoo doll, don't you hear my call
I'm your Voodoo doll
[Verse 3]
I'm strung out on pretty, pretty girls
I forgot about the rest of the world
Pots and pans and good free sex my wife she is the best
If I get bored I'll get a family and get into incest
[Chorus]
I live for love where love's insane
I need to numb to ease the pain
When the end begins again
Needles, needles, I stick them in
Your Illusions, my confusion
I'm so confused
[Verse 4]
Think your thoughts, confirm your petty doubts
The spell is cast in broken glass your time is running out
You're just a prisoner, your just a prisoner
You're just imprisoned by your own devices
Come on out and bleed some blood
And solve this fucking crisis
[Chorus]
I live for love where love's insane
I need to numb to ease the pain
When the end begins again
Needles, needles, I'm sticking them in
This world doesn't seem so fucked up when I'm fucked up too
