living the mystery

well

the man's name is sunshine

and he come up from the town

said he bring a proposition

for a man when he's down

gonna buy me an aeroplane

gonna teach me how to fly

gonna take me to america

gonna make mama cry

and when i hear that lonesome train whistle blow

then i know it's time for me to go

i been round this cold hard town too long

there's so many roads a man could go

roads that glisten in the night like diamonds

oh

how i long to be

living the mystery

living the mystery

well

the phone keep on ringin'

but the man's never home

ain't nobody at this address

will you people move along!

well

i'm a sure fire addict

for a world up in the stars

turn a new sod over

c'est la vie

au revoir

and when i hear that lonesome train whistle blow

then i know it's time for me to go

i been round this cold hard town too long

there's so many roads a man could go

roads that echo in the night

i hear them

calling to you and me to keep on

living the mystery

living the mystery

well

i'm a sure fire addict

for a world up in the stars

turn a new sod over

c'est la vie

au revoir

c'est la vie

au revoir
