Mystery Girl
Glides through the streets sporting long black hair, it’s as if she’s travelled almost everywhere
Heads turn, people stepping out of the way
Not something you experience every day
Mystery girl, she’s in a whirl, she’s here,
she’s there, she’s gone.
Only she knows the ways of the world
and how to tell right from wrong.
An age old story since time began, the one about a woman being pursued by a man
In this case not conforming to type, as she’s deepening the mystery almost every night
Mystery girl, she’s in a whirl, she’s here,
she’s there, she’s gone.
Only she knows the ways of the world
and how to tell right from wrong.
Floating, show boating, delusions prevail
Rebellion, refusal to climb back on the rails
Why should she listen, what difference
would it make? The girl’s her own person
by no means a fake
Mystery girl, she’s in a whirl, she’s here,
she’s there she’s gone.
Only she knows the ways of the world
and how to tell right from wrong
Mystery girl.
