Vigilante Lover John Cale

[Verse 1]
Ooh, you think you got a gypsy smile
But it won't get you out of trouble this time
All you ever had is the memory
And the rose that you keep for company
Anyone could have cracked the code
Anybody could have cracked that code

[Verse 2]
So touch up your makeup
And save up all your pride
You once made everyone your lover
And I bet you felt just like a bride
While they were talking in some foreign tongue
You were parading around like a beggar in an iron lung

[Chorus]
'Cause something must be breaking your heart
Yes something is breaking your heart
That I loved like a vigilante lover
That I loved like a vigilante fool

[Verse 3]
The air was heavy over the village square
It's not every day they auction off despair
There were voices floating in that country air
And the secret policemen watching everywhere
Anyone could have cracked the code
Anyone could have cracked that code
