little mysteries

a gypsy boy came up to you

with a newspaper spread across his arm

to hid his fingers in your pocket. meanwhile

in another part of town

i buy a ticket for a game

and la petite femme

smoking les gitanes

is writing down my name

oh

little mysteries

little mysteries

yeah

little mysteries

little mysteries

a plane goes down in kc

mo

in a simple twist of fate

a trail of lies leads us to orlando

but we are days too late

for a certain brother down in florida

famous for his cake

and when the boys came over from texas

they said we'll take everything we can take."
