Spanish Harlem Incident

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem

Cannot hold you to its heat

Your temperature's too hot for taming

Your flaming feet are burning up the street

I am homeless come and take me

Into the reach of your rattlin' drums

I gotta know, babe, all about my fortune

Down along my restless palms

[Verse 2]

Gypsy gal, you've got me swallowed

I have fallen far beneath

Your pearly eyes, so fast and slashing

And your flashing diamond teeth

The night is pitch black, come and make my

Pale face fit in the place, oh, please

I gotta know, babe, I'm nearly drowning

If it's you my lifelines trace

[Verse 3]

I've been wonderin' all about me

Ever since I've seen you there

On the cliffs of your wildcat charms, I'm riding

I know I'm 'round you, but I don't know where

You have slayed me, you have made me

I got to laugh half-ways off my heels

I gotta know, babe, will you surround me?

So I can know if I'm really real
