Gypsy in Red - Irshad Khan

Drivin' up the coast To find a version of the truth Left the backdoor swinging Like a dirty little sleuth The truth is I have never Felt half this alive Now it's time to dance Upon the grave called 45 Jacked up on some Kerouac And surely bullet proof The girl who taught me what to do Was missing her front tooth Gentle as a storm Inside your mental health I wanna find the answer But I just can't find myself I say so long To the way I played The way I played Inside of yesterday Hey let's run around The great escape From out of my hometown Later I would look for love Inside a woman's dorm A couch to keep me humble And her breath to keep me warm Ophelia was the girl That I was feeling for Come to realize It was me who was the whore A captain lost himself Inside a 40 year old skull The drink of choice was knowledge And we always wanted more Drunken sailors Seeking their Geronimo Instead they found the things That they really didn't wanna know I say so long To the way I played The way I played Inside of yesterday Hey let's run around The great escape From out of my hometown Country roads Would never let me stay The way I played Inside of yesterday A devil's growl and cat's meow Were blended into one Termites called suburbanites Were eating all the fun A juggernaut of comedy And blasphemy I wanna stop the madness But I think it has to be I say so long To the way I played The way I played Inside of yesterday Hey let's run around The great escape From out of my hometown Country roads Would never let me stay The way I played Inside of yesterday Hey let's run around The great escape From out of my hometown

Well, that highway moon is calling Like some lover from some other land Before the dust can settle I'll kick it up and tear it down again I've got the wanderlust It's somewhere else or bust Yeah, I'm just a Hello, goodbye, honey It's been good and I must be going Restless, I guess When I'm in one place for too long I don't know why But I'm like the wind and I just keep blowing free Must be the gypsy in me, yeah Gypsy in me So I led on the table Baby, what you get is what you see, ooh Well, you can look there in the palm of my hand You won't find a line of longevity No, it ain't in the cards I ain't no queen of hearts Before it starts, uh Hello, goodbye, honey It's been good and I must be going Restless, I guess When I'm in one place for too long I don't know why But I'm like the wind and I just keep blowing free Must be the gypsy in me, yeah Gypsy in me, ooh (Gypsy in me) I've got the wanderlust It's somewhere else or bust Yeah, I'm just a Hello, goodbye, honey It's been good and I must be going Restless, I guess When I'm in one place for too long I don't know why But I'm like the wind and I just keep blowing free Must be the gypsy in me, yeah Gypsy in me, yeah Gypsy in me Gypsy in me, yeah Oh Gypsy in me, yeah Oh Gypsy in me, yeah Oh Gypsy in me Oh Gypsy in me Oh, oh Hey, yeah, yeah

It's just the gypsy in my soul Make me pack up my packs and go It may seem like I'm on a roll But it's just the gypsy in my soul Layin' out in the midday sun Tryin' so hard not to run Looking out at the deep blue sea I guess it's just the gypsy in me Jump on that train Catch that plane Here and there And back again Well it seems like some kind of cruel fate Keep me moving in this restless state Sometimes it feels like I don't have any goal It's just the gypsy Catch that train Jump on that plane Here and there And back again Well it seems like some kind of cruel fate Keep me moving, moving in permanent restless state Seems like some days I don't have any goal It's just this gypsy in my soul Gyp-gyp-gypsy, gypsy, gypsy in my soul Gyp-gyp-gypsy in my soul-soul-soul-soul-soul-soul G-g-gypsy in my soul G-g-gypsy in my soul
