A Heady Tale

Pull me up a chair and keep your money
There's no guarantees
Won't you please forgive me but you know
Cold blooded women make me sneeze?And I'll kick you out the door
If for just one minute you lie
And they'll come crashing though the wall
And leave you crawling till the minute you diePour yourself a drink or three
And maybe we'll think clearer for a while
You may be an embarrassment
But I love the way your clothes are never in styleLiving's much too easy
And dying would be some kind of bore
Well, you swear that you're original
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes beforeSo steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn't understandGypsy blood will get you far
And they will not miss you when you goTear another hole in my brown shoes
And we can all sleep for a while
Well, I told you once before
I love your braces and your hesitant smileBut please don't get me wrong it's only right
That you can stamp on my heart
Well, I've seen you and your friend some place
You know I just can tell you apartAnd though they'll hunt you like a dog
Or they won't take you alive
'Coz you've made them piles of money
Stacked up twenty storeys highAnd the boys in every bar
They will not miss you when you goSo steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn't understandGypsy blood will get you far
Though it's far away from me
Look me up when you get home
And maybe then we'll seeWell, they'll hunt you like a dog
But they wont take you alive
'Coz you made them piles of money
Stacked up twenty storeys highAnd the boys in every bar
Well, they'll miss you when you're gone
You can tell a heady tale
And we'll both keep screaming onLa, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
