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 through the wall
And leave you crawling 'til 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 only some kind of bore
Well you swear that you're original
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before
So steal the watch from 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'll 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
Please don't get me wrong
It's only right that you can stomp on my heart
Well I've seen you and your friends someplace
You know I just can't tell you apart
And though they'll hunt you like a dog
Oh, they won't take you alive
Cause your made big piles of money
Stacked up twenty stories high
Well the boys in every bar
They will not miss you when you go
So steal the watch from 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
And maybe then we'll see!
Well they'll hunt you like a dog
But they won't take you alive
Cause you made big piles of money
Stacked til twenty stories high
The boys in every bar
Well they'll miss you when you're gone
You can tell a Heady Tale
And we both can sing along
La la
