Chenoweth Kristin Lyrics
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
Woo hoo 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
I know you want a lover, let me tell your brother
She's been sleeping in the Devil's bed
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
