Elvis Costello – Mystery Dance Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: My Aim Is True

Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill.
He jumped out the window cause he couldn^,t sit still.
Juliet was waiting with a safety net.
He said "Don^,t bury me cause I^,m not dead yet".

[Chorus:]
Why don^,t you tell me ^,bout the mystery dance.
I wanna 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.

Well I remember when the lights went out
[ Mystery Dance lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/mystery-dance/ ]
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.

[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 what^,s the use of looking when you don^,t know what they mean.

[Chorus]
