Rickie Lee Jones - Little Mysteries lyrics

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..." oh, little mysteries, little mysteries yeah, little mystereis, little mysteries nobody wants to know nobody wants to see now four years later another senator hits the ground this time the boys make sure that his wife is with him when he goes down and while everybody's looking up in a race too close to call t he election quietly slips into the third door down the hall. oh, little mysteries, little mysteries. yeah, little mysteries, little mystereies could be next to you. someone you've known for years a car parked down by the airport at the edge of town.....
