Lyrics for The Acid Queen

If your child ain't all he should be now This girl could put him right. I'll show him what he could be now Just give me one night. I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen. Pay before we start. The Gypsy - I'm guaranteed. To tear your soul apart. Give us a room, close the door Leave us for a while. Your boy won't be a boy no more Young, but not a child. I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen. Pay before we start. The Gypsy - I'm guaranteed. To tear your soul apart. Gather your wits and hold on fast Your mind must learn to roam. Just as the Gypsy Queen must do You're gonna hit the road. My work is done now look at him He's never been more alive. His head it shakes his fingers clutch. Watch his body rise! I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen. Pay before we start. I'm the Gypsy - I'm guaranteed. To break your little heart. If your child ain't all he should be now This girl will put him right. I'll show him what he could be now Just give me one night. I'm the Gypsy - the acid queen. Pay before we start. The Gypsy - I'm guaranteed. To tear your soul apart.
