Lyrics
?Gigolo Roam?
words & music by Guy-Michael Grande
© & (P) 2003 by Guy-Michael Grande/Fifth Fret Music (ASCAP)
Never was slim, but I was hungry
Quick to break in, slow to burn
Tonic and gin, old Mister Bombay
Sapphire blue took a decadent turn
Never liked following other men?s footsteps
Couldn?t care less as I made my way
No address kept the misses from coming
No escaping Rescue Me Bay
Overdue bills and trickle-down income
Darkness fills this tenement home
Toxic thrills, willingly lonesome
In the land of the free where the gigolo roam
Never met a woman who could see perfection
Every single one with a blind-spot stare
Blessed with sense and sheer intuition
(All the) Maker?s craft in their bodies laid bare
Never took a lover to recover what?s missing
Soulful symmetry, wicked desire
Lingering long at the wells of wishing
Beckoning thunder after the fire
Overdue bills and trickle-down income
Darkness fills this tenement home
Toxic thrills, willingly lonesome
In the land of the free where the gigolo roam
Never could fathom inspired attraction
Chemistry rare, such a fleeting thing
Sure to ensnare, stronger than reason
Playing roulette with a brand-new fling
Never lost love on a true affection
Sparkling hours in a glistening haze
Gather no dust, oh my collection
Made to combust, divine to appraise
Overdue bills and trickle-down income
Darkness fills this tenement home
Toxic thrills, willingly lonesome
In the land of the free where the gigolo roam
