Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Mystery achievement
Don't breathe down my neck, no
I got no trophies on display, I sign them away
I mean, what the heck?
All of your promises
Don't fill me with pride, no
I just wanna get out on the floor
And do the Cuban slide, slide, slide, slide

But every day, oh, every nighttime I find, hey
Mystery achievement
You're on my mind, on my mind, on my mind
Every day, oh, every nighttime I feel, yeah
Mystery achievement, you're so unreal

Mystery achievement
Where's my sandy beach? Yeah
I had my dreams like everybody else
But they're out of reach, I said, right out of reach
I could ignore you
Your demands are unending
I got no tears on my ice cream but you know me
I love pretending

But every day, oh, every nighttime I find, hey
Mystery achievement
You're on my mind, on my mind, on my mind
And every day, oh, every nighttime I feel, hey
Mystery achievement, you're so unreal, oh

But every day, oh, every nighttime I find, hey
Mystery achievement
You're on my mind, on my mind, on my mind
And every day, oh, every nighttime I feel, hey
Mystery achievement, you're so unreal, oh

Oh
Oh
