Emerald Eyes Lyrics

She was a green Gypsy woman with emerald eyes

Stood like a sacrifice on the front lines

Fires they were raging underneath her wings

Her smile could end the reign of a hundred thousand kings

She was calypso and she knew what she was doing

She dragged me to her island in a stupor stoned and stupid

She casted ancient spells on me that had me hypnotized

When she grabbed me by the face and shined with awe her sultry eyes

She was a green Gypsy woman with emerald eyes

Stood like a sacrifice on the front lines

Fires they were raging underneath her wings

Her smile could end the reign of a hundred thousand kings tonight

A cavalcade of serpents follows her down the river

The prophet screams aloud, in a treacherous whisper

Salvation is forgone upon the worship you give her

So lay down, close your eyes and run away from your sister

She was a green Gypsy woman with emerald eyes

Stood like a sacrifice on the front lines

Fires they were raging underneath her wings

Her smile could end the reign of a hundred thousand kings tonight

Listen

The feedback static from her hips eternal

That heart within her chest bleeds a crimson infernal

She's written in her book a thousand wishes and dreams

As she dances round the forest, burns it down with her screams

She was a green Gypsy woman with emerald eyes

Stood like a sacrifice on the front lines

Fires they were raging underneath her wings

Her smile could end the reign of a hundred thousand kings tonight

Yeah

Cleopatras dancing in the temples of Memphis

The musics getting louder and it powers this temptress

She's moving to the rhythm with a fatal attraction

I can't fight it any longer, I need my satisfaction

She was a green Gypsy woman with emerald eyes

Stood like a sacrifice on the front lines

Fires they were raging underneath her wings

Her smile could end the reign of a hundred thousand kings tonight
