Little Mysteries

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 mystereis, 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 mystereies
 could be next to you.
 someone you've known for years
 a car parked down by the airport
 at the edge of town...
