Lyrics
Gypsy Cinder

from the album 'Unsound' by ftprints11 2005
boom boom da de da
boom boom ba de da wowow
vi)
Candles, sandalwood, buddha, cheesecloth shirt
she sat cross-legged on a hempen mat
reading tarot cards, and yarrow sticks in dirt
she spoke softly about this and that
B) I felt a flush from deep inside
there was something about here eyes
I crawled out of my heart
and I loved her...
vii)
Talking, slowly, touching, breathing smoke
I was feeling subtle emotions
gazing, listening to every word she spoke
expanding on the smallest notions
B) I felt a crush from deep inside
A kind of warmth I couldn't describe
I fell out of my selfish heart
and I loved her, only her
Ch:
She's a gypsy, she's a traveller on the road
and I know she'll never stay
like a cinder from a fire
she's my runaway desire
she will blow, she will blow, she will blow away
boom boom da de da
boom boom da de da wowow
viii)
Smiling, laughing, rolling, smoking
she laid me bare there on her bouncy bed
wide-eyed I kissed her, easy gentle stroking
I felt her pants as she held my head
I felt a crush from down below
there was'nt anywhere she wouldn't go
I fell under her powers
and I loved her, only her
Ch:
She's a gypsy, she's a traveller on the road
and I know she'll never stay
like a cinder from a fire
she's my runaway desire
she will blow, she will blow, she will blow away
She's a gypsy, she's a traveller on the road
bum ba da da da, oooooh
and like a cinder from a fire
she's my runaway desire
she will go, she will go, she will float away.
