Gypsy Scroll - Kyle Gass Band

So long ago and far away

Although it seems like yesterday

With dreams of wisdom dancing

Elude now he must say

Hush the angel’s song, the demons want to play

No longer with the castle choir (ahh)

His quest but quenched by dark desire (desire)

He trembled and he shook

As he climbed the canyon’s wall

A weathered hand appeared, it would not let him fall

Into the night he sang the first lonely song of tears and pain

He played the first power chords about evil lords that reign

Searchin' for answers, and finding only lies

The first rocker found his voice, much to his surprise

Hello there, weary traveler

Hello, kind gypsy

You must be hungry

Ah, yes, I am

Please try my stew

Um, actually, wh- what’s in this?

It’s made of delicious mutton

Uh-

To provide nourishment for your journeys

It, uh, doesn’t, doesn’t look very, um-

I think it’s pretty good stew

Oh, okay

Yeh, try some

He longed for answers that she knew

(Longed for answers that she knew)

That weathered hag went on of nothing more than stew

And then he peeked inside the gypsy scroll (scroll)

Loosely translated, it just said «Rock and roll»

Into the night he sang the first lonely song of tears and pain

He played the first power chords as the skies began to rain

He know how the worlds collide when the angels call his name

They’ve never heard a darker song with such a sweet refrain

Roll the gypsy scroll

Rock ‘n' roll the gypsy scroll
