Sucker for Mystery

[Intro] (And I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been a sucker for mystery) [Verse 1] So, I turn to the left and I turn to the right But none of the answers are in sight (So, I made a mistake maybe once or twice And I can't even get to paradise) And a priest came up to me and touched my face He said, "Terrible things happen round this place" (Such terrible things happen round this place Such terrible things happen round this place) No demon, no man has got a clue But surely, son, the end will turn out right for you ('Cause I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been a sucker for mystery) [Verse 2] There's a little boy walking up the stairs Through a dark hallway that leads nowhere He comes to a door and he's afraid to knock He stoops down low and peers through the lock And there's a tall man standing with a glistening knife And he's stooping over something that has no life So, with a stifled scream, he starts to turn away But a strange little voice seems to whisper, "Stay" He's always been a sucker for mystery And he's always been... [Chorus] I don't want to say goodbye I want to give it one more try I don't want to say goodbye I want to give it one more try [Post-Chorus] Won't somebody help? Won't somebody help? I'm all alone now with nothing to do And I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go And I'm stuck with two tickets to an awful show And my mouth's full of words, but I've got nothing to say And I've been sitting in front of the TV set all day And my head's in a vise, and it won't let up And my feet won't move, and if that ain't enough The telephone rings... ("Hello? Hello?") [Verse 3] I've seen children with such angry faces When you look in their eyes, it makes you want to cry (There's a time and a place for everything There's a time and a place for everything) Now, it doesn't seem fair But who cares? They're someone else's As long as they don't come close to mine (There's a time and a place for everything There's a time and a place for everything) [Verse 4] So, we packed our bags and went back to the hotel In back of the squalor and the living hell And they'll sell you this, and they'll sell you that And they'll sell you their sister for a buck and a half Such terrible things happen round this place Such terrible things happen round this place Such terrible things happen round this place And people disappear without a trace And I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been... [Verse 5] Well, the mystery that intrigues me the most Is the one that makes men give up hope And the pride and the search for even little things That might give a meaning or even a hint 'Cause how can a free man not have hope When he hasn't even reached the end of his rope? [Chorus] I don't want to say goodbye I want to give it one more try I don't want to close the gate I still think that it's not too late I know when I reach the end I want to start all over again I don't want to... [Chorus] I don't want to say goodbye (And I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been a sucker for mystery) I want to give it one more try I don't want to say goodbye (And I've always been a sucker for mystery) (And I've always been a sucker for mystery) (And I've always been a sucker for mystery) (And I've always been a sucker for mystery) I want to give it one more try Don't, don't, don't want to (Such terrible things happen round this place) Don't, don't, don't want to (Such terrible things happen round this place) Don't, don't, don't want to (Such terrible things happen round this place) Don't, don't, don't want to (And people disappear without a trace) Don't want to say goodbye (And I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been a sucker for mystery) Don't want to say goodbye (And I've always been a sucker for mystery And I've always been a sucker for mystery) [Outro] I don't want to say goodbye I don't want to say goodbye Don't want to say goodbye Don't want to say goodbye Don't want to say goodbye Don't want to say goodbye Don't want to say goodbye Don't want to say goodbye...
