Mystery Dance - Live
Romeo was restless
He was ready to kill
He jumped out the window
'Cause he couldn't sit still
Juliet was waitin' with a safety net
He said, "Don't bury me 'cause I'm not dead yet"
Why don't you tell me about the mystery dance
I want to know about the mystery dance
Why don't you show me
'Cause I've tried and I've tried
And I'm still mystified
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
Well, I remember when the lights went out
And I was tryin' to make it look like it was never in doubt
She thought that I knew
And I thought that she knew
So both of us were willing
But we didn't know how to do it
Why don't you tell me about the mystery dance
I gotta know about the mystery dance
Why don't you show me
'Cause I've tried and I've tried
And I'm still mystified
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
(Woh!)
Well, I was down under the covers in the middle of the night
Tryin' to discover my left foot from my right
You can see those pictures in any (Playboy) magazine
But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they mean?
Why don't you tell me about the mystery dance
I want to know about the mystery dance
Why don't you show me
'Cause I've tried and I've tried
And I'm still mystified
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
Do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
Do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
(Mystery Dance.)
(Thank you, mystery dancers.)
(Thank you, Mystery Blues.)
(Check out Glenn Davis & The Mystery Blues Band from Ithaca.)
(Apparently when this thing started, the beer drinking was illegal...)
(But that law has been repealed so don't worry.)
(But dancing was never illegal, so don't let it stop you.)
