Lyrics and music are the script. And that's the video clip for this song, through my eyes and, naturally, the means at my disposal.
From album: Television (1994)
Wichy Red
Cold black nite
Blood red moon
Conju woman
Singin' a zombi tune
Litening crash
Thunder boom
Standing alone
At the crossroad of doom
[Chorus]
She paint my holy cross red
Burn black candles
At the corners of my bed
Ain't never been so afraid
of the livin' or the dead
As I am of the woman
Witchy red
Hang my picture upside down
Swamp root vine
Keep me bound
Saw tooth grass
On my crown
On my trail a hell hound
[Repeat Chorus]
Black cat bone dressed in bath tub gin
Mojo satchel made out of human skin
Dam balla and his next of kin
Made this fool get religion and give up his sin
[Repeat Chorus]

I do not have the rights for the music, videos and photos. I pick them from the internet and I just make the job for another view of this great song.
I hope to enjoy with this!
