But you wanted to keep his secret safe
We together make a limb"
For we are bound by symmetry
To his hide-out in the Pyrenees
This is the story of your gypsy uncle
And whatever differences our lives have been
And how his face was carved an' ripped with wrinkles
And some just laid around in bed
Some, they crawled their way into your heart
This is the story of the boys who loved you
In the picture in your head
This is the story of your gypsy uncle
And how the skin was softly shed
So you threw the key away
To rend your ventricles apart
Did it cruel, did it tenderly
You never knew 'cause he was dead
And remember how you found the key
And some were sweet and some were cold and snuffed you
This is the story of the boys who loved you
And how it whispered, "Oh, adhere to me
And how the muscle bone and sinews tangled
And some, they crumbled you straight to your knees
Who love you now and loved you then
This is the story of your red right ankle
