Burn, Gypsy, Burn
Bound in chains
Tied to a pole
Straw at your feet
Burns to your soul
Burn, Gypsy, burn
Reading tarot
Card to all
Peering in
Your crystal ball
Burn, Gypsy, burn
See the flames
Inhale the smoke
The whole town watches
As you choke
Burn, Gypsy, burn
Walk the streets with
Downcast eyes
Never knew where
You belonged in life
Burn, Gypsy, burn
Your silken rags
Fit like gloves
Coins earned dancing
Spent for love
Burn, Gypsy, burn
Suffer now
Pay your due
For being different
Life is cruel
Burn, Gypsy, burn
Tried for witchcraft
Done no wrong
Only pass'd thru
Where you don't belong
Burn, Gypsy, burn
Doing your best
With what you have
Travel in a horse-drawn
Caravan
Burn, Gypsy, burn
Dream of a new life
Every day
Thought that you
Could get away
Burn, Gypsy, burn
Look meek and evil
But that's not you
Crimes were just what
You had to do
Burn, Gypsy, burn
Brave fire tho
Scared as can be
Wait, are you that diff'rent?
You sound just like me
Burn, Gypsy. Burn.
