The Evil Eye

My dizzy spells
My aching shell
My dire self has found a home

I cannot laugh
I cannot smile
I cannot wait to be alone

A drop of oil onto my soil I swear to God I'm not a fool
A few magic words and I am through

I cast an evil eye
I spit my name along the truth
I caught the evil eye off you

My mother wakes
My father shakes
My gypsy waits to hear the news

I mustn't lay
I mustn't sway
I mustn't dream of the accused

A drop of oil onto my soil I swear to God I'm not a fool
A few magic words and I am through

I cast an evil eye
I spit my name along the truth
I caught the evil eye off you

Remember when we're dead
Remember all that's said

I break a sweat to my dry-est breath
My neighbors left a box of prunes

I cannot eat
I cannot drink
If I could weep I'd weep for you

A drop of oil onto my soil I swear to God I'm not a fool
A few magic words and I am through

I cast an evil eye
I spit my name along the truth
I caught the evil eye off you

Remember when we're dead
Remember all that's said
Remember your beads & thread
Remember don't forget
