Lyrics:
A Gypsy’s Kiss
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)
John San, what you can
La la Janette dance in sand
What’s the mystery, my son
Gypsy Dan, Caravan
Won Tun Wan with your Chinese fan
It’s part of history my son
Murder and rape with your power
The 10th revolution in far away days
It’s come to this
A gypsy’s kiss
All your power’s gonna fade in the haze
Ya who’ Jumme gae bile ya heed
The Senorita said
“I’ll drag yer lungs out through yer nose”
Space truckers free and high
Teamsters get ya by and by
That should keep you on your toes
They got a gun at your head
But you ain’t necessarily playing their game
They can’t resist
A Gypsy’s Kiss
All that’s needed to drive them insane
John Wayne, The Alamo
Crazy Horse, Geronimo
I’ll smoke a piece with you
Mind, body, heart and soul
We got rock and roll
And there’s nothing they can do
Hear the small voice of truth
Above the shouting despair of the crowd
What do you wish
A Gypsy’s Kiss
Gets you strong for crying out loud
