Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill<br>
I'm gonna walk right up to heaven dodging lightning and rods<br>
He jumped out the window 'cause he couldn't sit still<br>
I'm gonna have this very personal conversation with God<br>
Juliet was waiting with a safety net<br>
I'll say "You've got the information why don't you say so?"<br>
He said "Don't bury me 'cause I'm not dead yet"<br>
He'll say "Well I've been around and I still don't know"<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance<br>
I wanna know about the mystery dance<br>
Why don't you show me 'cause I've tried and I've tried,<br>
and I'm still mystified<br>
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied<br>
<br>
Well I remember when the lights went out<br>
And I was tryin' to make it look like it was never in doubt<br>
She thought that I knew, and I thought that she knew,<br>
So both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it<br>
<br>
(chorus)<br>
<br>
Well I was down under the covers in the middle of the night,<br>
Tryin' to discover my left foot from my right<br>
You can see those pictures in any magazine<br>
But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they mean<br>
<br>
(chorus)<br>
<br>
I'm gonna walk right up to heaven dodging lightning & rods<br>
I'm gonna have this very personal conversation with god<br>
I said "You've got the information why don't you say so?"<br>
He said "Well I've been around and I still don't know"<br>
<br>
(chorus)<br>
<br>
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied (repeats)<br>
