[Verse 1]
Lay awake in bed at night
Can't sleep 'cause the world's on fire
Sweet dreams goin' up in smoke
Headlines say that there ain't no hope

[Chorus]
It's a mystery, a mystery world

[Verse 2]
Blood running on the desert sand
It's all part of a crazy plan
Soldiers die, they just send some more
Nobody knows what they're fighting for

[Chorus]
It's a mystery, a mystery world
It's a mystery, a mystery world
Ooh, ooh...

[Verse 3]
Storm clouds over New Orleans
Brought the people down to their knees
President said it won't take long
Then he turned his back, and now thе mud is all gone

[Chorus]
It's a mystery, a mystery world
It's a mystеry, a mystery world

[Bridge]
There's a heart rate [?] falling down around us
We could be drowning in our fears
Sometimes I feel the light is disappearing
(Disappearing, disappearing...)
A mystery world
Ooh, ooh...

[Verse 4]
Dead man laying on the dusty road
They took his farm about a month ago
People said it was a goddamn shame
To see a good man lose it all this way

[Chorus/outro]
It's a mystery, a mystery world
It's a mystery, a mystery world
(Hey, yeah) Ooh, ooh, ooh...
Mystery world
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
