(And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
So I turn to the left, and I turn to the right
But none of the answers are in sight
So I made a mistake maybe once or twice
And I can't even get to paradise
And a priest came up to me and touched my face
He said, "Terrible things happen 'round this place"
(Such terrible things happen 'round this place)
(Such terrible things happen 'round this place)
"No demon, no man has got a clue
But surely son, the end will turn out right for you"
(Cause I've always been a sucker for mystery)
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
There's a little boy walking up the stairs
Through a dark hallway and it leads nowhere
He comes to a door but he's afraid to knock
He stoops down low and peers through the lock
And there's a tall man standing with a glistening knife
And he's stooping over something that has no life
With a stifled scream he starts to turn away
But a strange little voice seems to whisper, "Stay!"
He's always been a sucker for mystery
And he's always been...
I...
I don't want to say goodbye
I want to give it one more try
I...
I don't want to say goodbye
I want to give it one more try
Won't somebody help, won't somebody help
I'm a lonely old man with nothing to do
And I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
And I'm stuck with two tickets to an awful show
And my mouth's full of words but I've got nothing to say
And I've been sititng in front of the TV set all day
And my head's in a vice and it won't let go
And my feet won't move and if that ain't enough
Then the telephone rings
(Hello?)
I've seen children with such angry faces
When they look in your eyes they make you want to cry
(There's a time and a place for everything)
(There's a time and a place for everything)
And it doesn't seem fair, but who cares
They're someone elses'
As long as they don't come close to mine
(There's a time and a place for everything)
(There's a time and a place for everything)
So we packed our bags and went back to the hotel
In back of all the squallor and the living hell
And they'll sell you this, and they'll sell you that
And they'll sell you their sister for a buck and a half
Such terrible things happen 'round this place
Such terrible things happen 'round this place
Such terrible things happen 'round this place
And people disappear without a trace
And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been...
Well the mystery that intrigues me the most
Is the one that makes men give up hope
The pride, and the search for even little things
That might give a meaning, or even a hint
Oh, how can a free man not have hope
When he hasn't even reached the end of his rope
Oh I...
I don't want to say goodbye
I want to give it one more try
I...
I don't want to close the gate
I still think that it's not too late
I...
I know when I've reached the end
I want to start all over again
I don't wanna...
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
I don't want to say goodbye
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
I want to give it one more try
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
I don't want to say goodbye
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
I want to give it one more try
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery
And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
Don't, don't, don't wanna
(Such terrible things happen 'round this place)
Don't, don't, don't wanna
(Such terrible things happen 'round this place)
Don't, don't, don't wanna
(Such terrible things happen 'round this place)
Don't, don't, don't wanna
(And people disapear without a trace)
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
Say goodbye
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
Don't want to say goodbye
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
Ohhh I don't wanna say goodbye
(And I've always been a sucker for mystery)
Don't wanna say goodbye
Don't wanna say goodbye
Don't wanna say goodbye
Don't wanna say goodbye
Don't wanna say goodbye
Don't wanna say goodbye
Don't wanna say goodbye
