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)
