Lyrics »

Chorus 1: I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen And she could drink more wine Than I'd ever seen She had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet And when the time was right She said that I would meet my destiny Chorus 2: I traveled round the world to find the sun I couldn't stop myself from having fun Then one day I met an Indian girl And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in (Repeart Chorus 2) (Repeart Chorus 1)
