Elvis Costello - Mystery Dance текст песни

Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill.

He jumped out the window cause he couldnt sit still.

Juliet was waiting with a safety net.

He said "dont bury me cause Im not dead yet".

Why dont you tell me bout the mystery dance.

I wanna know about the mystery dance.

Why dont you show me,

cause Ive tried and Ive tried,

And Im still mystified.

I cant do it anymore and Im not satisfied.

I cant do it anymore and Im 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 didnt know how to do it.

Chorus

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 magazine.

But whats the use of looking when you dont know what they mean.

Chorus

Im gonna walk right up to heaven dodgeing lightning rods

Im gonna have this very personal conversation with god

I said "you got the information, why dont you say so? "

Hell say "well Ive been around and I still dont know."

Chorus
