Gypsy girl, the hands of Harlem cannot hold you to its 
heat

Your temperature Is too hot for taming

Your flaming feet, they're burnin' up the street

And l am homeless, come and take me

To the reach of your rattling drums

Let me know, babe, all about my fortune

all along my restless palms 

Gypsy girl, you got me swallowed

and I have fallen far beneath 


and your flashing diamond teeth 

The night Is pitch black

Come and make my pale face fit In place ah, please

and let me know, babe

Am I merely drowning

for it's you that my lifelines trace

You have slayed me

You have made me

I've got to laugh halfways off my heels

I've got to know, babe

Come here end touch me

So I can tell if I am really real
