[No lyrics]

I grew up in a super market
it was there they told me
if they can't find me they won't leave without me now or ever

all i need to work to get me started
all i need to love
some ex-girlfriend lets call her Heather
whispers to me
"Is love forever?"
(2x)

are you quite certain, love?
(7x)

is love forever?

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 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, mmm
We'll go there to the mystery zone
Ah, the mystery zone

There goes the rider [unverified] will die
Takes no prisoners at all, he'll be there on his own
What get's him gone off down that road
Is something 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 come it feels so familiar when you never been there?
How come it seems so unreachable?
You never tried to find, never tired to find
The mystery zone, ooh, mystery zone, ooh
All of the people you used to run into but you 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 of [unverified]

Everyone ready, you're 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

Openin' windows, doors never close
It's the fresh air fiend, it's the information troll

We'll pack a bag, sendin' it off just some things
That never fit right to the [unverified]
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?

The times that we met, before we met
We'll go back there
Oh, times that we met
We'll go back, the mystery zone
To the mystery zone, in the mystery zone

Japanese John, his slight face fur
Still just as confused still just as sure

He's still just as charming, points out the view
As he hands your wage to you
Don't you break it
Or they'll take it

Who makes your money
Who thinks they might
Who's gonna be there to take the fight
Some try to relax
Some try to know
Some try to get there with no place to go
No place to go
Who makes your money
Oh they take it

When all is quiet and on your own

And all your love, there it goes
It's come to hate
With everything you call
And now your back
Is against the wall
Who makes your money

I'm writing this to you in reverse
Someone better call a hearse
I can see it all from here
From just a few glimpses
Now that lightbulb's gone off
And it's pulling my wince
And now the lightbulb's gone off
I've seen it in your eyes
I've seen you blankly stare
And I wanna show you how I love you
But there's nothing there

I'm not standin' here!
Oh I'm not standin' here!
And I'm writing in reverse
I know it could be worse
I'm not standing here, I'm not standing here
(I'm not standing here, I'm not standing here)
(and I'm writing in reverse, I know it could be worse)
And I hear that famous song
And I hear that can't be wrong

No nothin' was planned
You just can't help yourself
Some people are so easily shuffled and dealt
If there's only one of us you truly felt
We're gettin' you raw
And it feels real good
Although only briefly
Like high school poppers would
Will you lose a bit of yourself?
Will you lose a bit of yourself?

I'm not standin' here!
Oh I'm not standin' here!
And I'm writing in reverse
I know it could be worse
I hear that famous song
And I hear that can't be wrong

All I know, is all I know,
Yes, all I know, is all I know
Is all I know...

I'm writing this to you in reverse
Someone better call a hearse (woo!)
I can see it all from here
From just a few glimpses
Now that lightbulb's gone off
And it's pulling my wince
And now the lightbulb's gone off
I've seen it in your eyes
And there's nothing there
There's nothing there
I wanna show you how I love you
I can see you blankly stare

whenever your love can find me
They break through the walls, to find me
It's breaking the walls to find me

I go out in the world
i made my case to the world
I saw the world and to the world
it asked me back again
It caused me love, hold me tight

Do Do Da do da . . .

It peels off and ties that bind me
m.... I don't need a thing to remind me
That I'm part of the world.

I saw the light
I saw the light
and I felt all creamed all in white
i felt so permanent being in love
I saw the light
i saw the light
and I felt all creamed all in white
i felt some permanently love

i saw the light
i saw the light
i saw the light
and i fell all creamed in white
i feel so permanently loved

Oh!

I was in a functional way
And I have my brown sound jacket
Queen of call collect
She was my calm-me-down
She was my good-luck charm
She was my good luck

Here it come running
Here it come running again
Trouble come running
Here it come running again

Well alright
I got taken away
By a heavenly host
To a heavenly place
I didn't wanna leave

I would not be swayed

But here it come running
Here it come running again
Trouble where the kids are
Here it come running
Well are you picking up?
Are you picking up what I'm putting down?
Putting down
Running, here it come running
Ah, running again

Well done
I was in a functional way
And thinking clean clean thoughts
Effort just to keep my nose on

Just trying to look straight ahead
Don't wanna tell him he's wrong
Wanna tell him he's wrong

It come running
Here it come running
Where the kids are
Here it come running again
Slaves are on the horses
Princes walk the ground like they're slaves
Here it come running
Here it come running again
Running again
Running again
Running again
Ah, running

Good Night Laura
Don't you know your bed awaits and now it's time for sleeping
Goodnight Laura, close your eyes
Your worries are meant to stop for now
You know they're not for keeping
If you want to fall asleep, be very still
And you close your eyes and slow yourself and let your worry leave you
And let go of it all just for this evening
Alright
Alright
You can fall asleep by being very still
And let your breath slow down
And when you think your thoughts be sure that they are sweet ones
Don't you know, love, you're alright
You're alright

You walk into the ballroom like
The cough, the wind, the rain was right
And all them heads went left to right
Then out with the lights
It was a break in time
I know your mechanisms

You became like that
One which your heart was fixed
Before I knew what was which
Out with the lights

There's a picture of you
Standing there in my black wig
Looking like, who thinks they know who
Standing there in my black wig
I came here for the noise
You always look good that way
You with the one-two punch from Illinois

If you lean any harder
That window breaks at the bone
And when that light turns back again
You will remember the way
They fall for you like a brick
Oh but nobody loves you
Or woos you when you're down or kicked

Out go the lights
Never see that counterpoint
You always look good that way
You with the one-two punch
You always look good that way

When I'm with you all my brothers oh
I feel like a king
It feels like I'm dreaming

When that blood goes rattling through my veins
My ears start to ring
I notice what matters

And I got nothing to lose but darkness and shadows
Got nothing to lose but bitterness and patterns

When I can't find the way to reach you my love
I'm just not the same
Just the same

When I know you're watching out for me
I know what I'm knowing
I can see what matters

And I got nothing to lose but darkness and shadows
Got nothing to lose but emptiness and hang-ups
Oooo

Oh when I know you're watching out for me
I look for what matters
And I notice what matters

And I got nothing to lose but darkness and shadows
Got nothing to lose but loneliness and patterns

The flowers blooming the trains collide
Ahhh
I don't got a thing to lose

Nobody gets what I say,
Must be some way to convey,
But no-one else remembers my name,
Just the parts that i play.

Nobody gets,
Nobody gets me but you.
No-one gets what I've done,
Everyone else seems to look trough.
Oh but maybe I've never wanted them to.
Couldn't count on it anyway.

Nobody gets,
Nobody cuts me like you.

Nobody gets what I say,
Those who know, those who lose.
Those who look trough.
Do they get me?

I thought they get me like you,
Oh no!
Nobody.
Nobody.
Nobody.
No.
Oh no-one.
