Walking all alone in the dead end, the gypsy wants us all around, yeah
I took your fare, I paid your party
There’s a hell to spent above these clowns, oh hey hey

And nobody knows where we’re going too far
Something for sure or we got it booted, oh hey!

Down to the tough sweet mountain, yeah
There’s a psychic woman under in Old North
Do y’all wanna set this speed off, baby?
I persuade you don’t I have my fill? Oh hey hey

And nobody knows where we’re going too far, yeah
Something was sure or we gotta do, oh hey!
Maybe we got no direction. Said we got no place to go, no no.
She shoved all our batch end; am I just a big wad blow? Yeah yeah
Gypsy woman’s passion, said I’m not gonna let you go
What’d I say, anyway, let’s get on with it!

Watch out!

Now the queens they’re humping back
And we made it on our train, heading south down the tracks
She comes to me however that you’ll see (?)
Our only self is a gypsy need, yeah

And nobody knows where we’re going too far, yeah
Something for sure or we gotta do, oh hey! Hell, fucking great!
We got no direction. Said we got no place to go, no no.
She shoved all our batch end; am I just a big wad blow? Yeah yeah
Gypsy woman’s passion, said I’m not gonna let you go
What’d I say, anyway, let’s take it on home, yeah!
