Gypsy Blood
Tell me my name
Tongue out, I'll swallow
Inherited frowns...
What protection spells
Can you dead singers offer
When I leave these cold-shoulder towns?
How long can this wayfaring pain go on?
Must I change my name in every world I enter?
'Cause whether high plains
Or midwest, it's all the same sadness
It follows me in a lowcountry breeze so,
Stay tonight and I'll drop to my knees and please you for a while
I'm your queen of dust and bile
Your dirty idea you will soon discard...
My blood's written
In gypsy rhythms
I'm cursed to bleed
Generations' unease...
From caravan to carnival
I'm still the circus clown
Blown up to pop, blown up to fall...
High plains. Midwest. All the same
Madness
It follows me in a northwestern breeze
These desperate coastlines
Taunt and tease
So stay a little while
With your queen of self-exile
A novel idea you will soon forget, because
I don't belong to any city
I don't belong to you
I don't belong to any city
I don't deserve to
No I don't belong to any city
I don't belong to you
I don't belong to any city
I don't deserve to
I don't deserve to
No anchors
To hold you
Ooooh
And I'll be a ghost soon
Ooooh
So why not just tell me
Why not just tell me
Why not just tell me your name?
Tongue out, I'll swallow
Inherited frowns...
What protection spells
Can you dead singers offer
When I leave these cold-shoulder towns?
How long can this wayfaring pain go on?
Must I change my name in every world I enter?
'Cause whether high plains
Or midwest, it's all the same sadness
It follows me in a lowcountry breeze so,
Stay tonight and I'll drop to my knees and please you for a while
I'm your queen of dust and bile
Your dirty idea you will soon discard...
My blood's written
In gypsy rhythms
I'm cursed to bleed
Generations' unease...
From caravan to carnival
I'm still the circus clown
Blown up to pop, blown up to fall...
High plains. Midwest. All the same
Madness
It follows me in a northwestern breeze
These desperate coastlines
Taunt and tease
So stay a little while
With your queen of self-exile
A novel idea you will soon forget, because
I don't belong to any city
I don't belong to you
I don't belong to any city
I don't deserve to
No I don't belong to any city
I don't belong to you
I don't belong to any city
I don't deserve to
I don't deserve to
No anchors
To hold you
Ooooh
And I'll be a ghost soon
Ooooh
So why not just tell me
Why not just tell me
Why not just tell me your name?
