I've got the sun she's got the moon she's got the fire like a gypsy I'm on the run she's running too everyone's hiding from something she's a sidewalk angel she runs with the wind all the waves dance to her footsteps the full moon reflects off the rose in her hair and enters my mind with a vengeance treasure surrounds me alight from within she covers my body with flowers crystalline color cascades in my eye i'd have no visions without her lying awake for sleep to come down but only the rain obliges explosions of laughter it drives me so mad desire for nothing but silence -<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>- under gypsy moon life don't get sweeter than this my heart is bleeding in perfect color mixing with the mist one step ahead of the sun just some gypsys on the run

the man on the moon is singing the blues this morning its 3am and he's howling for his darlin' she's down on the ground ringing her clothes in the sunshine wasting time just laughing to keep from crying if i ever find that winning hand gonna buy you a ticket to the promised land but if i come down with nothing to show mark my words i'll take you home the queen is getting drunk thinking about leaving the king's on the ground passed out and bleeding the fool's in the corner jumping for his freedom by and by the night will come and lead them away if i ever find that winning hand gonna buy you a ticket to the promised land but if i come down with nothing at all ill be standing still the dice will roll i've always been a gambling man roll them bones with both of my hands might get lucky i might get killed might get busted but I'm rolling still if i ever find that winning hand gonna buy you a ticket to the promised land but if i come down with nothing to show mark my words i'll take you home johnny's got the banker at the point of his knife they both got kids they both got a wife only one cat is gonna make it out alive johnny's going away for the rest of his life if i ever find that winning hand gonna buy you a ticket to the promised land but if i come down with nothing but tears it's gonna worry my soul all of my years i never played for nothing but thrills one mans pleasure is another mans will some like water and some like gin the other drinks whiskey because he knows he'll never win if i ever find that winning hand gonna buy you a ticket to the promised land but if i come down with nothing to show mark my words i'll take you home

one foot in the grave my hands in my pockets the other foot's dancing and i just can't stop it been feeling this way for so long i wanna fly but i just keep sinking my mind wanders and the birds keep singing got a pain in my heart but i know you're gonna set me free -<>-<>-<>-<>- its the way you move you know it sounds so sweet makes me want to get up out my seat and groove they say the business of love is to drown in the sea so baby, why not you and me? -<>-<>-<>-<>- tell me baby what you think of me i've got eyes but i just can't see i want to know you've got to show just tell it to me sometimes I get lost in my own mind with the beauty of the world that i left behind i want to start over just give me one more try -<>-<>-<>-<>- its the way you move you know it sounds so sweet makes me want to get up out my seat and groove they say the business of love is to drown in the sea so baby, why not you and me? -<>-<>-<>-<>- keep on singing and keep on growing put your soul in your words and keep the thing going tell it like it is and you can't do no one wrong -<>-<>-<>-<>- its the way you move you know it sounds so sweet makes me want to get up out my seat and groove they say the business of love is to drown in the sea so baby, why not you and me? -<>-<>-<>-<>-
