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
They'll come crashing through the wall
And leave you crawling 'til the minute you die

Won't you sell a drink or three
And maybe we'll think clearer for a while
You may be an embarassment
But I love the way your clothes are never in style
If this much is too easy
I'm dying to be some kind of whore
Well you swear that you're original, I know
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before

So steal a watch right off my wrist
Oh and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn't understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
And we will not miss you when you go

Tear another whole 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
Please don't get me wrong
It's only right that you can stamp on my heart
Well I see you and your friends someplace
You know I just can't tell you apart

And though they'll hunt you like a dog
But they won't take you alive
Cause your made big piles of money
Stacked up twenty storeys high
Well the boys in every bar
They will not miss you when you go

So steal the watch right off my wrist
Oh and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn't understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
Though it's far away from me
Look me up when you get home

Well they'll hunt you like a dog
But they won't take you alive
Cause you made big piles of money
Twenty storeys high
The boys in every bar
Well they'll miss you when you're gone
You can tell a Heady Tale
Will you both please scream along?
