[flourish] [Chorus] Why don’t you tell me ’bout the mystery dance? I want to know about the mystery dance Why don’t you show me? ’Cause I’ve tried and I’ve tried And I’m still mystified I can’t - [flourish 2] do it anymore and I’m not satisfied [Verse 2] Well I remember when the lights went out And I was trying to make it look like it was never in doubt She thought that I knew and I thought that she knew So both of us were willing but we didn’t know how to do it [flourish] [Chorus] Why don’t you tell me ’bout the mystery dance? I want to know about the mystery dance Why don’t you show me? ’Cause I’ve tried and I’ve tried And I’m still mystified I can’t - [flourish 2] do it anymore and I’m not satisfied [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Well I was down under the covers in the middle of the night Trying to discover my left foot from my right You can see those pictures in any magazine But what’s the use of looking when you don’t know what they mean? [flourish] [Chorus] Why don’t you tell me ’bout the mystery dance? I want to know about the mystery dance Why don’t you show me? ’Cause I’ve tried and I’ve tried And I’m still mystified I can’t - [flourish 2] do it anymore and I’m not satisfied [Outro] I can’t - [flourish 2] do it anymore and I’m not satisfied [repeat until fade]

Cette chanson évoque la lutte complexe de deux personnes qui tentent de naviguer dans les méandres de l’amour et de l’attirance. On y trouve un protagoniste, comparé à un Roméo moderne, qui ressent un besoin urgent d'agir, tandis que sa partenaire attend avec une certaine patience. Ensemble, ils oscillent entre l'excitation et l'incertitude, chacun supposant que l'autre sait comment avancer. Dans une ambiance à la fois légère et introspective, leur danse mystique devient un symbole de toutes ces occasions où l'on veut comprendre les non-dits et les subtilités d'une relation sans vraiment savoir comment s'y prendre. Ils partagent un désir de s’explorer mutuellement, mais restent prisonniers de leur propre confusion.
