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...hhmmm light on mister (?)
Times that we met...hmmmm
We'll go there
( *bass* ) and (pluck through whole chorus)
To the mystery zone
( *bass* ) and
Ah the mystery zone
There goes the rider, At gates of dawn
He takes no prisoners at all, He'll be there on his own
What gets him going, Off down that road
Is something he don't understand, ooo 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 come it feels so familiar When you never been there?
How come it seems so unreachable You never tried to find
( *bass* ) and
Never tired to find the mystery zone
( *bass* ) and
Mystery zone, oooh
(*Another verse and chorus, same stuff)
(After drum breakdown at 1:34. Play with reverb/delay):
play with bends/whammy bar
(rest measure)
