Mystery Dance - Elvis Costello

作词：E Costello

作曲：E Costello

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

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

Well I remember Friday night

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 did

So both of us were willing

but we didn't know how to do it

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

Well I was underneath

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

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

I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied

I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied

I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied

I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied

I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
