Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
Wooo hooo witchy woman see how
High she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman she got
The moon in her eye
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another
Room and she drove herself to madness
With a silver spoon
Woo hoo witchy woman see how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman she got the moon in her eye
Well I know you want a lover,
Let me tell your brother, she's been sleeping
In the Devil's bed
And there's some rumors going round
Someone's underground
She can rock you in the nighttime
'Til your skin turns red
Woo hoo witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

Sparks fly from her fingertips and her voice echoes in the night, conveying her restless spirit on an endless flight. The repetition of "Woo hoo witchy woman" emphasizes her bewitching presence, and the line "see how high she flies" suggests the extent of her supernatural abilities. She is held spellbound in the night with dancing shadows and firelight, and the crazy laughter in another room alludes to her madness. The last verse hints at her involvement with the Devil and rumors of someone being underground, adding to the sense of danger and mystique that surround her.
