You were baptized by fire
From out of the trash to burnin' desire
Can't you see it ripping your world apart
I'm not too blind to see, you're kind
All of your dreams you're searchin' for gold
You were baptized by fire, painted by rain
Baby, 'cause I'm on a roll, hit it
And the weaker they make you
Still this pouring rain in your heart
You were baptized by fire
Will keep you spinnin' in the same direction
Baptized by fire, to you it's a game
It's you they haunt
The deeper they take you
You're under the spell, feelin' no shame
It ain't you they want
Down 'til you don't know what you feel
Voodoo child voodoo child
Baptized by fire, to you it's a game
One day they say, they love you
Then they leave you behind
What do you feel?
I'm not too blind to see, you're kind
Baptized by fire, painted by rain
Well, I know your game, it's nothin' new, so
Baptized by fire, to you it's a game
All of your dreams you're searchin' for gold
You can say good-bye to me 'cause I have
Baptized by fire, to you it's a game
You're under the spell, feelin' no shame
Time to take my freedom, time to take control
You're under the spell, feelin' no shame
You were baptized by fire, painted by rain
It's a sign of the times
We've seen you workin' on every guy in this town
You're under the spell, feelin' no shame
Baptized by fire, painted by rain
Trading your voodoo for the Bible of who's who
How people mess with your mind
Voodoo voodoo voodoo voodoo child
Said, "Good-bye to you"
