Lyrics:
One night when I was sleeping
A gypsy woman sneak into my head,
and she said,
"I've got a bottle of schnapps
Let's get to know each other drinking,
A belly full of laughs
And some thoughts that beyond thinking.
Let's play a game of those cards
My friend
Because tonight I'm going to show you
How the night it never, never, never end".

Morning is one thousand dreams away
And our mad condition telling us to stay.
So stay we will

We've got that gypsy lady perched upon our bow
And the empire ship be heading
Where the wild ones they are now.
Oh how the gods look down and frown
At those who never stood and said
My name is no-one
And went a little mad,
And went a little mad.

And from time to time she sneak back inside me

And she say
"Lucky sing the secrets that I taught you always".
Replied "as long as I am living
I never forget
That the sun is never rising and is never set".

So, let's make some fire
And smoke and then
We'll go exploring

In the night that never, never, never end.

Morning is one thousand dreams away
And our mad condition telling us to stay.
So stay we will

We've got that gypsy lady perched upon our bow
And the empire ship be heading
Where the wild ones they are now.
Oh how the gods look down and frown
At those who never stood and said
My name is no-one
And went a little mad,
And went a little mad.

I've got a tingle in my back

And something sparking in my toes,
I get the shivers through my body

When that trumpet blows.
And while asleep I am awake
And while awake I am dreaming
Before I start to think I am scheming
To start a party tonight, my friends,
Because the woman in my head she said
Tonight is never, never going to end.
