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
