Gypsy is a 1962 musical comedy-drama film produced and directed by Mervyn LeRoy. The screenplay by Leonard Spigelgass is based on the book of the 1959 stage musical Gypsy: A Musical Fable by Arthur Laurents, which was adapted from Gypsy: A Memoir by Gypsy Rose Lee. Stephen Sondheim wrote the lyrics for songs composed by Jule Styne. The film was remade for television in 1993.
Determined to make her young, blonde, and beautiful daughter June a vaudeville headliner, willful, resourceful, domineering stage mother Rose Hovick will stop at nothing to achieve her goal. She drags the girl and her shy, awkward, and decidedly less-talented older sister Louise around the country in an effort to get them noticed, and with the assistance of agent Herbie Sommers, she manages to secure them bookings on the prestigious Orpheum Circuit.
Years pass, and the girls no longer are young enough to pull off the childlike personae their mother insists they continue to project. June rebels and elopes with Tulsa, one of the dancers who backs the act. Devastated by what she considers an act of betrayal, Rose pours all her energies into making a success of Louise, despite the young woman's obvious lack of singing and dancing skills. Not helping matters is the increasing popularity of sound films, which leads to a decline in the demand for stage entertainment. With bookings scarce, mother and daughter find themselves in Wichita, Kansas, where the owner of a third-rate burlesque house offers Louise a job.
THE GYPSY
Ink Spots/Dinah Shore
- words and music by Billy Reid
- popularized by Fanny Rose Shore (better known as Dinah Shore)
- also a big hit for The Ink Spots
- recorded by Charlie "Bird" Parker in 1946 the same day he suffered
a breakdown caused by his drug addiction
In a quaint caravan
There's a lady they call The Gypsy
She can look in the future
And drive away all your fears
Everything will come right
If you only believe The Gypsy
She could tell at a glance
That my heart was so full of tears
She looked at my hand and told me
My lover was always true
And yet in my heart I knew, dear
Somebody else was kissing you
But I'll go there again
'Cause I want to believe The Gypsy
That my lover is true
And will come back to me some day
----------------------------------
This magic winter night I see a light.
Again I hear that tune, some sort of croon.
Oh no, no, no, oh, my brain.
I see them gypsy waggons left in the snow.
Oh, I must see that lady, I have to know.
Gypsy woman, let me inside.
(Guitar solo)
They say you know the secret, secret of all time.
So gaze into your crystal and tell me all you see.
Gypsy woman, let me know.
"Oh, my son, you were never gone.
You are the Devil's child, and so am I."
(Guitar solo)
Gypsy now I know you're not my mother.
You're a part of my soul, it's dear for all to see.
Oh no, no, no, I am you.
This magic winter night I see a light
Again I hear that tune, some sort of croon
Oh no, no, no, oh, my brain.
Whooooh
I see them gypsy wagons left in the snow
Oh, I must see that lady, I have to know
Gypsy woman, let me inside
They say you know the secret, secret of time
So gaze into your crystal and tell me
All you see
Gypsy woman, let me know
"Oh, my son, you were never gone
You are the Devil's child, and so am I"
Gypsy now I know you're not my mother
You are a part of my soul,
It's dear for all to see
Oh no, no, no, I am you
Wir haben uns nur angesehen
und sofort war es um uns geschehen.
Es war auf der Party bei einem Freund,
wir sprachen kaum und waren doch vertraut.
Wir waren sofort im Schlafzimmer
und ich dachte Liebe f
Gypsy woman calls me
Caution leads the way
Reads from a book of night and day
Words or endless stories
Crystals in her gaze
Shows me of a place inside a maze
Cities golden splendor
Only life surrender
Candles all around me
Mountains in the sky
This is the place where life's a lie
Wakes in mortuary
Gasping in the air
Wind breathes words - She's not there
Deserts vast and barren
Still the witches jargon
Promises of splendor
Just my life surrender
She's a gypsy
Blinding lights flash at me
Wake me from this dream
I can't believe this place is real
Fires in stormy weather
Silver shields the rain
Her grip so tight that my life drains
Nectar from the serpent
Poison messages sent
Psylocybin splendor
Never life surrender
She's a gypsy
A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic all direction blind
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home
Speeding through a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach his ears
Frightening him with the visions of eternity
Screaming for a future that can never be
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home
A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic all direction blind
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home
(Music: King Diamond & M.Denner)

SOLO: M.DENNER, H.SHERMANN
Gypsy now I know you're not my mother
You're a part of my soul,
It's dear for all to see
Oh no, no, no, I am you
Gypsy you're inside of me
So I'm back, to the velvet underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy, that I was
To the gypsy, that I was
And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
Well, lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
To the gypsy that remains
Faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
God is my witness
I can feel you
There before my very eyes
A vision to me
Don't put out this fire
It's burning for
Burning for me
Burning for you
Standing within the sunlight
Pressed against me
Takes me back to other times
Different days
Love, act to surender
Belongs to
Belongs to me
Belongs to you
Lay down on me
Naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False shelter lies
Fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
There is nothing I can see in my mind
A picture of you
Painted so vividly
Love runs through my fingers
Then through
Through my light
Through my darkness
Lay down on me
Naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False shelter lies
Fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Son and daughter
Lay down on me
Naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False shelter lies
Fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Lay down on me
Naked gypsy
Watching you bathe in water
False shelter lies
Fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Freeway signs and faded blacktop
Backstage doors and parkin' lots
That's the world I mostly see
Starin' out of a wide window
A thousand miles away from my home
That's the gypsy in me
Chorus:
The gypsy in me can't stay in one place too long
'Cause there's somebody out there that still ain't heard my song
Yeah, so I roll on to where this road leads
That's the gypsy in me
It's in my heart to bear my soul
With an old guitar and a microphone
I stand up here and sing what I believe
Then I close my eyes and fold my hands
Thank God I've got a girl that understands
And loves the gypsy in me
Repeat Chorus
You know if I'd never heard "I Walk The Line"
"Freebird" or "You Were Always On My Mind"
"Ramblin' Man" or "Me And Bobby McGee"
If I'd never seen the Man In Black
I wouldn't feel the need to wear this kind of hat
And there wouldn't be a gypsy in me
(feat. Ray Wilson)
God is my witness
I can feel you
There before my very eyes
A vision to me
Don't put out this fire
It's burning for
Burning for me
Burning for you
Standing within the sunlight
Pressed against me
Takes me back to other times
Different days
Love, act to surender
Belongs to
Belongs to me
Belongs to you
Lay down on me
Naked gypsy
Watching you bade in water
False shelter lies
Fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
There is nothing I can see in my mind
A picture of you
Painted so vividly
Love runs trough my fingers
Then trough
Trough my light
Trough my darkess
Lay down on me
Naked gypsy
Watching you bade in water
False shelter lies
Fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter
Son and daughter
Lay down on me
Naked gypsy
Watching you bade in water
False shelter lies
Fear in your eyes
Give me a son and daughter

You can make out pretty good
When you're on your own
And you know just where you are
When you wanna roam
Got the moon above your head
And the road beneath your feet
Pull into a wooded glen
Make your own retreat

Laying underneath the stars

You know that that is home, check it out first
Sway to sounds of two guitars
Around the campfire bright
Then mellow out like old violins

Broke my heart on the road
Spent the weekend sewing the pieces back on
Crayons and dolls pass me by
Walking gets too boring when you learn how to fly
Not the homecoming kind
Take the top off, and who knows what you might find
Won't confess all my sins
You can bet I'll try it, but you can't always win
'Cause I'm a gypsy, are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me
Never made agreements just like a gypsy
And I won't back down 'cause life's already bit me
And I won't cry, I'm too young to die if you're gonna quit me
'Cause I'm a gypsy, 'cause I'm a gypsy
I can't hide what I've done
Scars remind me of just how far that I've come
To whom it may concern
Only run with scissors when you want to get hurt
'Cause I'm a gypsy, are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me
I don't make agreements just like a gypsy
And I won't back down 'cause life's already bit me
I won't cry, I'm too young to die if you're gonna quit me
'Cause I'm a gypsy
And I say, hey you, you're no fool
If you say no, ain't it just the way life goes
People fear what they don't know
Come along for the ride, oh, yeah
Come along for the ride, ooh
'Cause I'm a gypsy, are you coming with me?
I might steal your clothes and wear them if they fit me
Never made agreements just like a gypsy
And I won't back down 'cause life's already bit me
And I won't cry, I'm too young to die if you're gonna quit me
I wake up weeping from my sleeping den
Oh, I wanna fall asleep again
But the memory of her burning skin
Uummhh, keeps me yearning
You know Im yearning
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, you gypsy, you heartbreaking gypsy
Gypsy will you ever come home
Another drink, another cigarette
Lord, Id try anything to forget
But the memory of her burning touch
Uummh, just keeps on returning, just keeps returning
Oh, oh, oh, oh you gypsy, you heartbreaking gypsy
I said gypsy wont you ever come home
Whos gonna kiss my eyes, my eyes, my eyes, gypsy like you do
Whos gonna tell me lies, sweet lies, sweet lies
and make me believe theyre true
I miss her morning kiss when I wake up
I look and I see her face there in my coffee cup
I didnt know what a-loneliness was
Baby, baby, baby, I said Im learning
You know Im learning
Oh, oh, oh, oh you gypsy, you heartbreaking gypsy
I said gypsy wont you ever come home
Listen to me darling, I said a-gypsy, I said a heartbreaking gypsy
I said, a-darling, wont you ever come home
Say, Im a-lonely, Im a-lonely, a-little
I said a-gypsy, I said a heartbreaking gypsy
I said baby just, just come on home
Hear me when I said, I said now oh gypsy
Gypsy, gypsy, heartbreaking gypsy
Gypsy wont you ever come home
So I´m back to the velvet underground,
back to the floor that I love,
to a room with some lace and paper flowers,
Back to the gypsy that I was,
to the gypsy that I was,
doo, doo, doo, doo.
And it all comes down to you.
Well, you know that i does.
Well, lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice.
Ah, and it lights up the night.
And you see your gypsy,
you see your gypsy.
To the gypsy that remains,
who faces freedom with a little fear,
I have no fear, I have only love.
And if I was a child, and the child was enough,
enough for me to love, enough to love.
She is dancing away from me now.
She was just a wish,
she was just a wish,
And a memory is all that is left for you now.
You see your gypsy, oh,
you see your gypsy, ooh, ah.
Is it the past that stops me from growing
A wish to change yesterday though
I know it is future damaging
Slowly recognizing life cannot stay the same
Wish beautiful moments can remain
I pray and don’t loose the track that God makes me run
Cos without you, without the light, there is no sun
Oh but what is it that we have?
Still we have not arrived, still fall apart and still I ask…
Chorus
Will I wonder for the rest of my life
Will I break free from my imprisoned mind
But still we’re Gypsies for the rest of our lives
And will we ever break free and free your minds
Got to maintain our peace of mind
What to do is to keep it steady, keep it focussed
People come, people go, friends become enemies
Today they love you and tomorrow they forget
Some may speak out your secrets, your desire
And at the same time they want to suck your power
They smile at you, they give you kisses
And at the same time backstab you and give you
Chorus
Bridge
Will u recognize ur soul is naked before u
Will u hide ur own sin when u know the truth
Will u drown in ur own tears and self distruct
Will u break the rules and be concerned
Chorus
No but will we wonder for the rest of our lives
Will we break free from our imprisoned minds
Cos we’re still Gypsies for the rest of our lives
Forever searching
When the sun breaks through the clouds
That's when you'll see me appear
I've been watching you for a million years
I'll be watching you for a million more
Way beyond space and time
I've seen every human space
I know you used to be so carefree
When I was a child
I still did not know
Why they looked at me like I'm shit
When I was a kid
I started to recognize
Why they made faces
Like I'm disgusting
When I was in love
They said to me so much bullshit
But they never said the right
When I was a worker
They want to see me broken
And it made me so hard
It's me
Gypsy
When I was a friend
Than I got fake smiles
'cause they were never honest
when I was in trouble
there were no more brothers
yeah they leave me in shit
now I am a man
I don't deny myself
No I don't feel shame
I am on the stage
Now I show you my rage
Now I show you my fists!
It's me
Gypsy
Verse1
I'm ready now
To get up outta here
I'm steady now
Up in my new frontier
I'm on the move
I gotta move
I'm coming through
To get to you
I know you heard a lot about me
But you don't know that much about me
Tryna push me away
Why you blocking you cray
I ain't running away
I'm not running away
Chorus
I think I found the place
That I can call my own
I never been the one for change
But this time it's better alone
I don't wanna be here as the gypsy passing you by
I just wanna stay here and go back there some other time
PostChorus
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
Verse2
I bet you don't know what i'm up to
You think I do this cause I have to
Cause i'm still making all that dough up off you
I ain't worried at all
No discourage I ain't stressing
I'm just having a ball
Entertaining ya'll
Just get outta my way
Why you pushing ay
I ain't running away
I'm not running away
So just stop with me now
I'm the lost and the found
Ain't no playing around
I'm not leaving your town
Bridge
I I I I
Can this be home for me
I I I I
Will I ever be free
I've been searching
I I I I
Is there any love me
Is there a home for me
Da di da dam

HEAR THE CRY, HEAR THE CRY, THE CRY OF THE GYPSY
Watch the universe at the and of another day
Fatalistic ships from a distant shore
In the back of my mind I could see she was standing there
Like the feeling you have when you've been there before
She was a gypsy woman
She was as cold as the day
She said I'd got it coming
And then she took me away,yeah
She took me through the shadows of her sunken dream
I thought it's over for me
She wasn't all she seemed
She took my hand and then she started to speak
She told me she'd had the call
With eyes of fire that were burning my soul
She looked into her crystal ball
She read my fortune then she read my mind
She didn't like my thoughts at all
She showed me shadows, a specter of life
My soul just wanted to scream
She stared so deeply into my eyes
That's when I fell into a dream
When I awoke in bed she lay beside me
And as she read me with her eyes, she said:
"So you wanna be a gypsy,
Come on now,
So you wanna be a gypsy,
Come on now, now, now..."
Gypsy woman you're the devil in drag
You are the queen of all hell
You took my body now you're wasting my soul
You've got me under your spell
And as the sun shines on another day
You're gonna take mind,as well, it`s over
So you wanna be a gypsy,come on now (3)
Now there's many tales
In many cities to tell
And there's so many ways
That that story is told
There's a room with no bed in the heart of the ghetto
Where the rags and words lie still
There's a room with a chair in the heart of the city
But only memories sit there
Princelet street in the heart of the ghetto
Still Katz sells bags and strings
Calling you back are the streets of the ghetto
Climb the stairs where you're from
There's a room at the top of the heart of the gheto
Where the gypsy's been and gone
Oh see them watching
Oh streets always watching
They're a watching now
Oh see them watching
Oh ghosts always watching
They're a watching now
Saying them prayers by edge of the city
And now it's time to move on
New voices talk in the heart of the ghetto
Make a little money move on
Memory thieves in the heart of the ghetto
Don't want ghosts movin' on
But the gypsy's on the loose in the heart of the city
And now ya see he move on
Oh see them watching
Oh streets always watching
They're a watching now
Oh see them watching
Oh ghosts always watching
They're a watching now
Listen to the street move on
Letters and numbers move on
Gypsy always move on
See him there then he gone
See him there then he gone
Always got to move on
See him there then he gone
See him there then he gone
Always got to move on
Always got to move on
Mother don't fret I won't fall on my face
Mother don't fret I won't be a disgrace
Don't wanna hear the critics tell me to stop
Obliterate incinerate until I'm on the top
Obstacles mount gotta make it through the snow
A 9 to 5 job is nothing that I know
See the world through the eyes of a traveled young man
I gotta be someone that you'll never understand
Living like a gypsy now
Mother I'm living like a gypsy now
Can't you see the sacrifice on my brow
Mother I'm living like a Gypsy now
Glide through the night and watch the cloud turn light
Another eight hours in this tedious plight
Another foreign city in another foreign land
Another breakdown for this wavering van
Tensions run high and my eyes turn red
Everyone's sick and there's a throb in my head
No one gets sleep till we make it back home
Sinner
I gave her my palm
Though first I didn't want to
She was so young
She's got the magic touch
Her crystal ball told her all
She saw my secret wishes
My desire reflected in her eyes
I ain't telling lies
I saw a gypsy cry
It's like a miracle I can't say no, no, no
Together we could break down the walls
Gypsy tears I feel 'em running through my heart
She's acting so strange
I know she feels the same
One kiss on her cheek
It was like an explosion in me
Last time we met she turned away
I couldn't understand it
I guess she knows
Wherever we go, whatever we do,
we're gonna go through it together.
We may not go far, but sure as a star,
wherever we are, it's together.
Wherever I go I know he goes.
Wherever I go I know she goes.
No fits, no fights, no feuds
and no egos, Amigos, together!
Through thick and through thin,
all out or all in.
And whether it's win, place or show.
With you for me and me for you,
we'll muddle through whatever we do.
Together, wherever we go.
Wherever we go, whatever we do,
we're gonna go through it together.
Wherever we sleep, if prices are steep,
We'll always sleep cheaper together.
Whatever the boat I row, you row.
A duo
Whatever the row I hoe, you hoe.
A trio.
And any I. O. U., I owe you-oh's?
Who, me-oh? No, you-oh.
No, we-oh.
Together!
We all take the bow
Including the cow,
All:] though business is lousy and slow.
With Herbie's vim, Louise's verve,
Now all we need is someone with nerve.
Together
Together
Wherever
Wherever
Together, wherever,
Together, wherever we go.
We go in a group,
We tour in a troupe.
We land in the soup, but we know
the things we do, we do by threes.
A perfect team.
No, this way, Louise!
Together
Together
Wherever
Wherever
Together, wherever we go!
This magic Winter Night I see a Light
Again I hear that Tune, some Sort of Croon
Oh No No No, Oh My Brain
I see them Gypsy Waggons left in the
Snow
Oh I must see that Lady, I have to know
Gypsy Woman let me inside
Solo: M.D.
They say you know the Secret, Secret of
Time
So gaze into your Crystal and tell me All
you see
Gypsy Woman let me know
"Oh my Son you were never Gone
You are the Devil's Child, and so am I"
Solo: M.D. Solo: H.S.
Gypsy now I know you're not my Mother
You are a Part of my Soul, it's clear for All
to see
Oh No No No, I Am You
You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design
Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat
You are the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl's
Distracted by the women
With the dimples and the curls
By the pretty and the mischievous
By the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies
Who promise to gather you to their breast
Oh, hold me like a baby...
You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face
Denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter
And the laughing tale of the fool
The arranger of disorder
With your strange and simple rules
Yes now I've met me another spinner
Of strange and gauzy threads
With a long and slender body
And a bump upon the head
Oh, hold me like a baby...
With a long and slender body
And the sweetest softest hands
And we'll blow away forever soon
And go on to different lands
And please do not ever look for me
But with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song
Blowing by one day
She was straight from Hell
But you never could tell
Cause you were blinded by her light
She could crack your brain
With magic pain
And turn a paler shade of white
(Well) I was on the free
Just me and me
And just about to sail
When I heard the voice
Said you got a choice
The hammer or the nail
You'll be ridin'
You'll be ridin' on the gypsy
Well I rolled the bones
To see who'd own
My mind and what's within
And it's a given rule
That we're all fools
And need to have a little sin
So I'm ridin'
I've been ridin' on the gypsy
On the gypsy queen
She was straight from Hell
But you never could tell
Cause you were blinded by the light
So she cracked my brain
With magic pain
And turned my left around to right, right
So I'm ridin'
Yes I'm ridin'
I'm still ridin' on the gypsy
So we waited for you to come home.
Riding high on your visions done
Touching darkness we wait by the sea.
Holding on desperatly.
Far from certain you, ride the serpent and, touch the Pillars of stone
Break the chains from the masters of game then you, rise your sword to the throne
Save us we cry from the mountains you fly it goes over and over again
Soon we will know when your armies they show and they fight by our side till the end yea.
Giving answers to questions you here.
Listen closely to those that you fear.
How i wonder wherever you are.
See you coming from far
Free your eagles trough, out the city who's, wings are battered and torn
On your crown is our bloody red gown holding, all your anger and scorn.
Save us we cry from the mountains you fly it goes over and over again
Soon we will know when your armies they show and they fight by our side till the end yea.
Far from certain you, ride the serpent and, touch the Pillars of stone
Break the chains from the masters of game then you, raise your sword to the throne
Save us we cry from the mountains you fly it goes over and over again
I talk to you but its not the same as touchin' you
And every time you whisper my name, I wanna run to you
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong
CHORUS:
Baby 'cause I'm missing you now
And its drivin' me crazy
How I'm needin' you baby
I'm missing you now
Can't wait till I'm alone with you
To show you how I'm missing you now
Wishin' you were here by my side is all that I can do
Got my arms around my pillow at night, they should be
holdin' you
Thought I was stronger, how could I know, how could
I know
I can't take this much longer, its so hard on my soul
CHORUS:
Baby I just can't wait, till I see your face
Chase away this loneliness inside
When you're close to my heart, right here in my arms
Then and only then, will I be satisfied
I'm missing you now
We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long
But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong
CHORUS
I was a gypsy Travelling light and feeling lonely all the times 'Till I met you Felt our desire set my world on fire A cornerstone I'd been walking through cities on my own I passed a stone, a cornerstone I'd been walking through this life on my own On my own
And I'm travelling by heart, heart, heart, yeah Heart, heart, heart
I'm still a gypsy I travel through countries with a family by my side It's a wonder A mans desire setting souls on fire I'm flesh and bone though I'd never make it through this life on my own I'm flesh and bone Soul, flesh and bone Could never make it through this life on my own
And now that I've told you the truth My world lies open, yeah yeah
And I regret, I so regret I regret all the things I said to you Yeah I regret, I so regret I regret all the shit I put you through Put you through You set me free You set me free
Touching every inch of my skin Caress it with a love that never ends Patient through the days that I hide Always in the room right by my side
I was only seventeen,
I fell in love with a gypsy queen.
She told me - hold on!
Her father was the leading man,
said "You're not welcome on our land."
and then as a foe, he told me to go.
He took me to a little shack
and put a whip across my back
then told her - leave me.
I was out for quite a time,
came back with her on my mind.
Sweet little girl - she means all the world.
Though I want my gypsy queen,
will she still be torn between
her father and mother?
One day I will go to him
strong enough to fight and win.
She's a dancer, a hot night heaven romancer
Her piece of mind is very thin
She can't stand the shape that she's in
Time killer, a fool for your money fulfiller
Your sugar daddy left you
The creation of your own desperation
Sure can kill you
Don't dance your life away
Tell me how you feel
Think you need a holiday
Stop spinning your wheels
Bang, bang, bangin'
Your head against the wall
Need another hand-out
Headed for a fall
Gypsy, black-n-blue valentine
Had enough of bang time
Caught you hangin' 'round
Wasted from the hips down
Gypsy, black-n-blue valentine
Runnin' out of hang time
In the lost-n-found
Wasted from the hips down, gypsy
She's grindin' but all of the time never mindin'
She'll look you in the face with a smile
Eyes starin' blank all the while
Tongue twister, a bad mean midnight sister
Livin' on a half time
Honey, can't you see
End of the line is comin'?
Bag full of money
And there goes your innocence
Lipstick smile is all for your defense
Push, push, pushin'
Your luck against the wall
Pack your bags, baby
Get away from it all
Gypsy, black-n-blue valentine
Had enough of bang time
Caught you hangin' 'round
Wasted from the hips down
Gypsy, black-n-blue valentine
Runnin' out of hang time
In the lost-n-found
Wasted from the hips down, gypsy
Hey you, what the hell is your story?
Stop makin' yourself go down in flames
Seems all you do is worry
Stop the shame game, baby
A man is to blame
Gypsy, black-n-blue valentine
Had enough of bang time
Caught you hangin' 'round
Wasted from the hips down
Gypsy, black-n-blue valentine
Runnin' out of hang time
In the lost-n-found
Wasted from the hips down
Gypsy, wasted from the hips down
Gypsy, wasted from the hips down
Gypsy, wasted from the hips down
Gypsy, wasted from the hips down
Gypsy, wasted from the hips down
Gypsy, wasted from the hips down
Gypsy
Baby, you'll be hangin' 'round
Wasted from the hips down
Baby, baby, hips down, hips down
Hips down, hips down, baby
In a quaint caravan there's a lady they call the Gypsy
She can look in your future and drive away all your cares
Everything will come right if you only believe the Gypsy
She could tell at a glance my heart was so full of tears
She looked at my hand and told me my lover was always true
And yet in my heart I knew dear somebody else was kissing you
Still I'll go there again cause I want to believe the Gypsy
That my lover is true and will come back to me some day

This magic Winter Night I see a Light
Again I hear that Tune, some Sort of Croon
Oh No No No, Oh My Brain
I see them Gypsy Waggons left in the
Snow
Oh I must see that Lady, I have to know
Gypsy Woman let me inside
Solo: M.D.
They say you know the Secret, Secret of
Time
So gaze into your Crystal and tell me All
you see
Gypsy Woman let me know
"Oh my Son you were never Gone
You are the Devil's Child, and so am I"
Solo: M.D. Solo: H.S.
Gypsy now I know you're not my Mother
You are a Part of my Soul, it's clear for All
to see
Oh No No No, I Am You
I’m driving down the highway with nowhere to go
Another tune comes on that old broke down radio
This one’s for the gypsy that never could come clean
Tied up in the wine and all the mescaline
She never felt lonesome just a happy flower child
Influenced by the drugs in her compost pile
She’s never one to ask, beg, or plead
Because the moonshine and the refer is the only thing she needs
I lost my mind but not my will
Come on gypsy to the moonshine still
I need a drink before I go insane
We’ll watch the chickens peck around the farm
Sing with the crickets on the front yard
We’ll toast the clouds feeling no pain
And we’ll dance in the rain
Sometimes I wonder why I lead this life
Broke down in the honky-tonks damn near every night
I’m nothing worth saving, I’m nothing worth grace
Another bar another town, same old lines with a different face
I lost my mind but not my will
Come on gypsy to the moonshine still
I need a drink before I go insane
We’ll watch the chickens peck around the farm
Sing with the crickets on the front yard
We’ll toast the clouds feeling no pain
