I flirt with the herbal smoke /

And Allah burns in the distance /

A sacrifice of meat and wool /

Take toubab as an offering /

The head is shaved /

It knows not the god ‘cept the fear of it /

Black magic, black magic /

In the kingdom of my mind’s journey /

You know I know I believe /

Black magic /

You know I know I believe /

But I cannot dance amongst the flames /

For I will sleep in the hospital bed /
