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?
