you can fool everyone
but you can't fool yourself forever
ten million rattlesnakes
are crawling up and down your legs
and you can break my heart
but you can't bring me down forever
I've kept my senses intact
& my spirit & my pride

oh you can fool everyone
but you can't fool yourself forever
too many firebirds
are circling around your head

I was a fool to believe (I was a fool)
that my love made any difference
the only power that speaks
on this planet, in my time
you can escape if you want
but you can't face yourself in the mirror

'cause you've treated me bad
& you know, you fallen angel
someone will hit you someday
someone much stronger than me

went to a voodoo man (a voodoo man)
he made a puppet and (a puppet and)
it's got your features
I've put the needles in you (the needles in you)
and than I spoke the words
if it was easy to kill
there would be no way to
escape my guns

and you can fool everyone
but you can't fool yourself forever
someone will hit you one day, yes I know
someone will hit you one day, I know 
someone will hit you one day
someone much stronger than me
and you can fool everyone but you can't
yes you can fool everyone but you can't
you can fool everyone but you can't
fool yourself
forever
