The Farallons

Lyrics

 
Gather round children and hear a tale
of when a man puts his soul up for sale.
Buyers are plenty and the price is dear,
And in the end one thing becomes clear
 
This is a one shot deal, and we better get it right
    Take care when you're dealing with gypsies in the night.
This is a one shot deal, and the cards are marked,
    So you better pay attention
    cause this is a one shot deal.
 
Look upward people into the night sky
And witness a star shooting by.
Sooner or later there will be one,
to come down and the judgment will be done.
 
This is a one shot deal, and we better get it right
    Take care when you're dealing with gypsies in the night.
This is a one shot deal, and the cards are marked,
    So you better pay attention
    cause this is a one shot deal.
 
As for the moral, as for the truth
I'm afraid that all comes down to you
Cause if we seek salvation
in a saint or a demagogue
We may as well pop the clutch
and put the peddle to the metal in the fog
 
This is a one shot deal, and we better get it right
    Take care when you're dealing with gypsies in the night.
This is a one shot deal, and the cards are marked,
    So you better pay attention
    cause this is a one shot deal.
