lyrics

Sleeping on the moon
Dead beat father George
Laughing
At all these years that are
Passing him by

Learning what to say
Thinking what he’ll be
Sometimes turns
Upside down

Singing with the stars
Fixing up the sky
Hoping
That all this time
Wasn’t wasted on by

Learning what to say
Wearing colored ties
Must have been
Some other man
He knew

He used to be that ol’ boy Gypsy
We used to murder his kind
Now we are signing getting all-tipsy
The whole world is our yard

Dancing on the moon
Fixing up the sky
Hoping
That all this time
Wasn’t wasted on by

Learning what to say
Wearing colored ties
Must have been
Some other man
He knew

He used to be that ol’ boy Gypsy
We used to murder his kind
Now we are signing getting all-tipsy
The whole world is our yard
