  • (..) # Black cats and voodoo dolls - Sing it, Puss! - # I feel a premonition # That girl's gonna make me fall Here we go! # She's into new sensations # New kicks in the candlelight # She's got a new addiction # For every day and night # She'll make you take your clothes off # And go dancing in the rain (..)
