Restless Gypsy

W.A.S.P. · Inside The Electric Circus [1986]

For so long now, I'm racing on in the wind

On this road I'm moving on

I feel the heat, the desert sun burning sking

Never stopping, always on the run

Ooh, forever all I want is you here by my side

But I can't wait too long, no

Holding me is like taming the seven seas



I'm one restless gypsy, all I need is to catch the wind, where my heart's in

And I'm riding in the breeze

Call me restless gypsy to the end

Riding free is all I need

My spirit's in the wind



Move too fast, no never hold me down

Catch me if you really think you can

Feel my touch, two lover cry that sound

Never, ever knowing who I am

Ooh, I want you close baby, don't you take too long

Cause tomorrow I'll be gone yeah

And holding me is like holding the seven seas



I'm one restless gypsy, all I need is to catch the wind, where my heart's in

And I'm riding in the breeze

Call me restless gypsy to the end

Riding free is all I need

My spirit's in the wind



Easy rider on the highway, got the wind in my hair

Come on, you can touch me where I lay, running free without a care



I'm one restless gypsy, all I need is to catch the wind, where my heart's in

And I'm riding in the breeze

Call me restless gypsy to the end

Riding free is all I need

My spirit's in the wind
