lyrics

The Part of The Gypsy Girl

will be played by her twin, the one with one brown eye & one blue. She’ll carry a guitar & dress in a velvet coat. Her smile will be painted green, her frown a pale pink. When she enters the secret room there’ll be men with drawn swords & automatic pistols to guard her every move. & where she walks there’ll be corpses to name & caskets she must number & bless. & when she’s ensconced in the limousine she must not be tempted to kiss the general who sits at her right or the queen who sits on her left. & when they arrive at their inevitable stop she’ll be carried to her room where they’ll extract her eyes & replace them with the eyes of the goat who oversees war. It’s then she’ll be led to edge of the town where she’ll be left to roam our valleys & mountains & sing of all she has seen.
