Picture yourself set up for good in a whole other life in the mystery zone Make us a house, some far away town Where nobody will know us well Where your dad's not around And all the trouble you look for all your life you will find it for sure In the mystery zone Times that we met, before we met Times that we met We'll go there To the mystery zone Ah, the mystery zone There goes the rider at gates of dawn He takes no prisoners at all he'll get there on his own What gets him going off down that road? It's the thing he don't understand Ooh! The mystery zone Maybe all he wants maybe all he needs is to know that the sun don't set On the mystery zone How can it feel so familiar when you've never been there? How con it seem so unreachable You never tried to find, never tired to find The mystery zone Mystery zone, oooh! All of the people you used to run into but never do now They took off for the mystery zone And when you know love, when you find it for real It contains the emotion sense Everyone read it, your cover was blown You weren't there but you were ooh in the mystery zone You weren't there but you were You weren't there but you were Opening windows, doors never close It's the fresh air fiend it's the information troll We're pack a bag, sendin' it off Just some things that never fit right And we'll send it ahead as a test so we'll know Call it up when it gets there "What's it like in the mystery zone?" And times that we met, before we met We'll go back there Times that we met before We'll go back we'll go back there The mystery zone
