A Heady Tale Lyrics[Verse 1: Jon Fratelli]
Pull me up a chair and keep your money, there's no guarantees
Won’t you please forgive me but you know cold blooded women make me sneeze
And I’ll kick you out the door if for just one minute you lie
And they’ll come crashing through the wall and leave you crawling til’ the minute you die
Pour yourself a drink or three and maybe we’ll think clearer for a while
You may be an embarrassment but I love the way your clothes are never in style
Livings much too easy, dying would be some kind of bore
Well, you swear that you’re original but I know I’ve seen those jealous eyes before

[Chorus]
So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh, and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days
And they wouldn’t understand
Gypsy blood will get you far
And will not miss you when you go
[Verse 2]
Tear another hole in my brown shoes and we can all sleep for a while
Well I told you once before, I love your braces and your hesitant smile
But please don’t get me wrong, it's only right that you can stamp on my heart
Well I’ve seen you and your friends some place, you know I just can’t tell you apart

[Refrain]
And though they'll hunt you like a dog they won’t take you alive
'Cause you made them piles of money stacked up, twenty stories high
And the boys in every bar, they will not miss you when you go

[Chorus]
So steal the watch from off my wrist
Oh, and shake me by the hand
We could disappear for days, and they wouldn’t understand
Gypsy blood will get you far, though it’s far away from me
Look me up when you get home and maybe then we'll see

[Outro]
Though they’ll hunt you like a dog, they won’t take you alive
'Cause you made them piles of money
Stacked up twenty stories high
And the boys from every bar
Well, they’ll miss you when you’re gone
You can tell a heady tale
And we'll all keep screaming on
