Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 2]
She done worked a root, ooh-ooh
Done worked a root that will not be reversed
Yeah, no
Then I'll go on
Go on
Go on my role in her play, no rehearsal
Said, I left my mojo
(Mojo, mojo) Left my mojo in my favorite suit
Yes I did, yeah
She left a stain
Left a dirty stain in my heart I can't refute
No, I can't
No, I can't
[Chorus]
She done worked a root, mmm-hmm
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword (In the name, and sword)
From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor (Bottom, oh-oh-oh)
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine (Ah, from the vine)
From the Alpha creation till the end all time
Yeah, till the end of all time
[Verse 3]
(Said I went, said I went to the doctor) I said I went to the doctor
The man told me there ain't nothin' wrong
Yeah, nothin' wrong, yeah
I said, but I beg to differ
I've been feelin' this pain for much too long
Oh yeah
[Verse 4]
I feel like my soul is empty
My blood is cold and I can't feel my legs, yeah, yeah
I need someone to hold me, hold me
Bring me back to life before I'm dead
Oh, yeah
[Chorus]
She done worked a root, doo-doo
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation till the end all time
[Verse 5]
I feel my soul is empty
My blood is cold and I can't feel my legs
Need someone to hold me
Bring me back to life before I'm dead
[Chorus]
She done worked a root
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor (Knows no floor)
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation till the
[Chorus]
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor (Pit of the bottom)
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation till the
[Chorus]
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword (Took shield and sword)
From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor (Bottom, yeah, that knows no floor)
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation till the
[Chorus]
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation till the
[Chorus]
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword (Took shield and sword)
From the pit of the bottom that knows no floor (Pit of the bottom)
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation till the end all time
[Outro]
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation till the end all time
