Name: Gypsy Moth
Duration: P00H02M50S
Description: A person who always wandered in one way or another - ah, Gypsy Moth, gone now. Inspired and inspirational, yet flawed, the gypsy did age and finally wearied of the struggle to find another meadow in which to land and draw succour. He led life a merry dance in many ways though; never belonged to anyone or anything; lived life raw, like this song.

lyrics

GYPSY MOTH

He went down to Beggars' Farm
Jethro couldn't come to harm
He wandered off the platter as the record played
They took him to another place
There he set a frantic pace
He walked out the door with no changes made

Gypsy moth must fly away, Gypsy moth will never age
Gypsy do what you must, Gypsy moth I'm telling you...
I wouldn't mind your Gypsy view
I could stand in Gypsy shoes

Gy-ypsy, where are you?
Gy-ypsy, I could be a Gypsy too
A Gypsy moth just like you

Back at home in the record store
Plants of theirs were what he saw
He ran out of town before the powers failed
Central plains, coastal blows
Whereabouts no-one knows
Wandering the landscape as the dawn sky pales

Gypsy moth must fly away, Gypsy moth will never age
Gypsy do what you must, Gypsy moth I'm telling you...
I could stand in Gypsy shoes
I could be a Gypsy too
A Gypsy moth just like you -
And never mind, you will find somewhere good to be
