Hoodoo Mask

Riaan Smit 1988 (Windhoek)



I got a vintage mind, I’ve got a Hoodoo Mask
Simple groove i'm not moving too fast
Let's take it back to the caveman days
If i'm living from nothing i’ve got it made

I’m raising the dead with my band
It's the sound of the music that gives me life, raising the dead with my band

I got a Voodoo curse, other natures gift
The kind of power makes the continents drift
I got a living dream every second day
I got silver coated kindness everywhere that i stay

You can call me mojo man
Raising the dead with my Hoodoo band
Is it a real job, someone asked
Well they can just go and kiss my ass
