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 through the wall
And leave you crawling till the minute you die
Pour 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 style
Living'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 before
(Chorus)
So steal the watch off from my wrist
And take me by the hands
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn't understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
And they will not miss you when you go
Tear 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 smile
But please don't get me wrong it's only right
That you can stamp on my heart
Well I've sen you and your friend some place
You know I can just tell you apart
Though they'll hunt you like a dog
They won't take you alive
Cause you made them piles of money
Sucked up twenty stories high
And the boys in every bar
They will not miss you when you go
(Chorus)
So steal the watch off from my wrist
And take me by the hands
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn't understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
And they will not miss you when you go
Though they'll hunt you like a dog
They won't take you alive
Cause you made them piles of money
Sucked up twenty stories high
And the boys in every bar
They will not miss you when you're gone
You can tell a heady tale
And they'll both keep screaming on
