Mystery Dance [live, Hollywood High School 1978]

(1, 2, 1-2-3-4!)

Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill

Jumped out the window 'cause he couldn't sit still

Juliet was waiting with a safety net

I 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 when the lights went out

And I was trying 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 '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

[Keyboard lead]

Well, I was down under the covers in the middle of the night

Trying 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
