I came back to my hometown incognito
To forget about it all
Suddenly, I heard "hey there papito-pito-pito
You don't ever give a call'

whapba bup bup ba (X 4)

remember we used to skip school together
said to me [bad word] girl polish man
Now, where have you been all my life
I've been skipping school since then, yeah
 [bad word] 
I've been watching trains
swiftly rolling by
I've been jumping them
without long goodbyes
to [bad word] of life
and how to break them well
and the key to my gypsy auto pilot
and my story to tell, hey!

whapba bup bup ba (X 4)

so we ran to outskirts of our town
to the working man dance hall
where all night we played piano-yano-yano
off the chairs about to fall
then we climbed the ladder to the attic
where once i showed her my first song
above the street where all them crazy dreamers
still talking nonsense all night long

whoa-o whoa-o
nonsense all night long
whoa-o whoa-o
still writing their first song
 [bad word] 

(bridge)
and we laugh, and we cry
and we recited sacred dance
and we rose and we fell
and then we said, ok what's next?

but, if you keep on watching trains
swiftly, rolling by
one day you will be gone
without long goodbyes
to [bad word] of life
and how to break them well
and the key to your ??????? gypsy auto pilot
and your story to tell
story to tell
