Gypsy Time (Part 1)

He sat in the park
Preoccupied by the wall
No opinion ‘bout this or that
Or some banker’s call

So we grabbed a cab
Just to give it a stab
Shake the tree
Find out if it was worth the fall

In gypsy time
Before he could see

The part played straight
And told us what it should be

There was no road home
Where they’d leave us alone

In gypsy time
Before we knew how to breathe

He slept in the park
Preoccupied by the street
Felt something was wrong
And someone should catch some heat

So we wheeled and dealed
See what we could feel
Close the loop, find all the ways to cheat

In gypsy time
Before he could heal

It all went sideways
All messed up in the deal

And there was no place safe
And nothing safe to say

In gypsy time
Before we knew it was real

In that nomad life
In the no man’s land
On the knife edge of what could be

When the myth blew down
Out of the land of the free

Then the cops came down
To retake the town
For the front runner’s speaking fee

That cold grey rain
Made him want to moan “Why me?”

He came back to the park
Now occupied by the facts
Something needed to break
To get some sanity back

So he blamed the game
Gave it all a new name
Tear it down
Put it on a new track

In gypsy time
Before we could bleed

In gypsy style
We did the deed

And the way to play
Matched the state of the day

In gypsy time
Before we could bleed
