pop-song parody for Halloween |
Pathway to Eden (parody of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven) I'm a woman who knows that with roots, sticks, and bones I am mapping a pathway to Eden. When I get there I know all the gods will be so close with I sigh I can have them draw near. O-h-h-h, a pathway to Eden. I draw veves on my wall, the orishas to call and all of my spells have two meanings. In the deep wilderness there's a rare bird that sings of the thoughts shapeshifting my future. O-h-h and I wander, truly, truly, wander. There's a feeling I get when I face to the west And my spirit cries out to Yemanja. In my dreams I have seen wild powers coursing through me and I know that my mojo is working. O-h-h-h It's whispered that soon all will come to voudou and the mambos will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn for those who stand strong And the planet will echo with laughter. O-h-h. O-h-h. If there's a pin-doll under your pillow don't be alarmed now. It's just a poppet for your pleasure. Yes, there are many paths you can go by but in the long run you choose the path you are running on. Oh, it makes me wander. My head is spinnin', and I must go, because I know the spirits are calling me to join them. I can hear the wind blow, and I know my pathway lies with the whispering wind. Pathway to Eden. Pathway to Eden. I can' t buy it, I can't borrow, I must scoop it from my marrow. Pathway to Eden. Pathway to Eden. And as I walk on down the road, all that matters is my soul. All that glitters is not gold, I won't be left lonely, lost and hollow. You can't hide from yourself forever. You gotta work to get to Eden. Pathway to Eden. If I listen and hold fast to every question that is asked the truth will be known at last, And I'm mapping a pathway to Eden.
