Gypsy Rose

(album: Joyland - 2015)

When I was just a young boy
Sixteen or so
I kept these magazines
And I never told a soul and
Maybe I'm going crazy
But I saw that cover girl tonight
She had a [?]
She's looking so damn fine

But now I go home to an empty bed
With a dizzy head, and a hangover to come
So I pray to God and hope he hears me
That she comes knocking at my door
And I say, "Thank you God"

And my heart falls down
And I stand alone
She walked on in, so full of sin
This girl called Gypsy Rose
And my eyes they burn
And she's turning me to stone
She stood right there with [?]
Making my kingdom come
Cause she's sweet, sweet like sugar
Miss Gypsy Rose

Oh Miss Gypsy Rose
Miss Gypsy Rose

One night we spent together
I'll never be the same
I'm hers forever
Now, no, no one could blame me
She brought me so close to heaven
I saw the good lord on his throne
But somehow, when I woke up the next morning
I woke up on my own

So now I roam around all over town
Asking on the streets where she might be
'Til one day I found the man at an old news stand
Who brought me out a top shell magazine
And now she was dressed as a beauty queen

And my heart falls down
And I stand alone
She walked on in, so full of sin
This girl called Gypsy Rose
And my eyes they burn
And she's turning me to stone
She stood right there with [?]
Making my kingdom come
Cause she's sweet, sweet like sugar
Miss Gypsy Rose

Cause she's sweet, sweet like sugar
Miss Gypsy Rose
