Song #4 is 'Black Juju' an epic length (over 9 minutes) number which harkens back to the psychedelic sound of the first two albums. Musically, it is very reminiscent of Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive", while the vocal delivery reminds me a lot of Jim Morrison
It might be a fan favourite, but I find it tedious to the extreme
Allegedly, the song was recorded in one take, live in the studio
The title comes from the name of a dog that would 'hang around the neighbourhood'!
04/09 - Black Juju (Dunaway) "Body
Body
Touched by the toil and plunged into his arm
Cursed through the night through eyes of alarm
A melody black flowed out of my breath
Searching for death, but bodies need rest
Body
Under the soil now waiting for worms
All that I feared is all that I've learned
All that I know is all that I think
Dead feelings are cool, down lower I sink, ah-hah
Bodies need rest
Wwe all need our rest
Sleep an easy sleep
Rest
Rest
Bodies need their rest
We all need our rest
Sleep an easy sleep
Rest
Rest
Rest
Rest
But come back in the morning
Come back hard
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Bodies
Clutching and biting my soul has caught on fire
My evil is now and I'm caught up in desire
Everything I'm living for is all that I am
Liking it and loving it that's all in the plan
Black Juju" | This is my all time favourite Alice Cooper song on my all time favourite Alice Cooper album - so, so good!
