Mystery Dance(acoustic W/ Extra Verse) Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill 

He jumped out the window 'cause he couldn't sit still 

Juliet was waiting with a safety net 

He 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 Friday night, when the lights went out 

And I was tryin' to make it look like it was never in doubt 

She thought that I knew and I thought that she did 

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 

Well, I was underneath the covers in the middle of the night 

Tryin' 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 

I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied 

I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied
