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.

Well I remember 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 knew, so both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it.

Well I was down under 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.
