gypsy turns

i know the turn's gonna hurt
i flip my hair too much
and close my eyes so tight
dude, please swear you'll pick me up
just before i hit the ground
and smash my heart between pavement cracks.

that place you promised me about
yeah that one with tall buildings and fast cars
i only dream simple ones for me and my li'l gurl
that place, that one
where the prettiest faces dwell and walk very fast
are they rushing for heaven, or do they know that hell is just around
does it snow over there,honey?
i was in munich some time and saw it frosted
the flakes dried my skin
and left my lips cold and broken.

do you honestly believe
this gypsy will get her life in the big apple city
will she find herself there
or simply push the sadness deeper in memory
and only to find out one day
she lost all that was left of her
the few ones she took with her
the night she made that gypsy turn
and took that flight of her life
to NYC.

and if one day i realize
and find an empty suitcase
a heart that has been left behind
will you let me trace my way back
to the one who truly owns it
even the night i made that gypsy turn
and took that painful flight away
from love.


i bet you this turn's gonna hurt ...
