It's the middle of the night and I look in the mirror
Hey man, what do you see?
Hear the sound of the train by the river
Crying out follow me
And the four walls knock me out of bed
Run down the street, rain on my head
Since I was a kid always wanted to see it
Now I'm faced with mortality
Yeah I hear the greeting
Yet my heart still beating
Yet my heart's still beating
Now there's no retreating
Going into the mystery room
Yeah my brain's hit a brick wall
Yeah my body's in free fall
Must be something weird going on in my head
Short circuited cross wired up on the high wire
Hear them play that honky-tonk tune
As we walk to that mystery room
Yeah, can you feel the gloom?
Lifting in the mystery room
Yeah, flight or fight face the fear
Or live in denial turn around get out of here
Or medication in the hope it might disappear
But if you can't see it, you can't beat it
Meanwhile they're playing my tune
It's raining out there but in here it's June
Big black cloud covering us with gloom
That's why I hide in my mystery room
Come and join me
It's a moment too soon
Get your head in the clouds and disappear
'Cos I'm here in my mystery room
Come and join us
We're here in the mystery room
Come and join us
We're here in the mystery room, oh, yeah
Yeah, I hear the greeting
Yet my heart's still beating
Now there's no retreating
Going into the mystery room, ha
