Borough Gypsy Lyrics by Nomi Ruiz

0

Lights are always shining
Why did I come back here now
Diamond colored skies of grey
Through any telephone
Can hear the sound of loneliness
Why did you come follow home
A single sailor told me I
Would look much older when
Not dressed like a hooligan
On any street I roam
I hear the sound of home in him
Life without deliverance
I live in solitude and battle my reclusive nature
Would rather battle loving you
I never find the time to fight my way through these behaviors
What am I supposed to do
I'm only getting by on my good looks and lust for baiters
Would rather be out breaking rules
Is there a place and time a gypsy finds where she belongs
Each and every borough's home
Feel so left behind as time it passes by in droves
Wished upon the moon last night
I took a taxi home and had to pay in bribes and loans
How do we become unknown
I had my fortune told I know someday I'll dance again
With your brother by my side
I'll look him in his eyes until he tells me we'll be fine
Dance here now forever more
Tonight the streets will shine the color of your chosen savior
Would rather paint them black and blue
I always fight the times and never read the daily paper
Is that what I'm supposed to do
I'm only getting by on my good looks and lust for baiters
Would rather be out breaking rules
Is there a place and time a gypsy finds where she belongs
Each and every borough's home
