  • 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 mysteries, 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 mysteries

    Could be next to you.
    Someone you've known for years
    A car parked down by the airport
    At the edge of town... Writer/s: RICKIE LEE JONES
