Gypsy

Gypsy
(verse 1)
a land of dunes and sand through an hourglass
it's October but the heat is relentless
it's been a long time
it's not home but it has a chime
and a girl so mysterious wrapped in red
he wants to know my sweet name
but I'm not forthright and it's all a game
I was born a little spark
grew into an ember
a woman that's a flame all windy November
he wants to dance with my band of thieves
my hips wrapped in gold and orange like the leaves
he wants me to be his oasis in the dry
but I'm his pretty antithesis but why?
(chorus)
lalalalala
the beginning is sometimes also the ending
all melted into one being
lalalalala
the way of the gypsy queen is to be free without a king
lalalalala
just when he thinks he's about to get her embrace
she disappears like incense smoke in his rugged face
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
she's notorious all throughout Egypt
he wishes to hold her like a secret that can be kept
her heart like a pyramid
so notorious it's like she hid
an encounter that's like a desert daze
he began to wonder if she's just a mere mirage
a criminal on the run she's at large
he'll never understand
a woman's always on guard
unbreakable like marble hard
he romances the possibility of life on a caravan
following her word and every command
but it'll never work out
because she has a strong spirit
(chorus)
lalalalala
the beginning is sometimes also the ending
all melted into one being
lalalalala
the way of the gypsy queen is to be free without a king
lalalalala
just when he thinks he's about to get her embrace
she disappears like incense smoke in his rugged face
(end chorus)
