Mystery Man Lyrics
The Outfield
Lyrics
Got a letter from a mystery man
In between the lines - he don't understand
He's on a mission in Mozambique
The room is wired and I just can't speak
In the middle of it all - he can waste no time
In the middle of it all - he just says goodbye, goodbye
Got to get there just as fast I can
A pink carnation on a mystery man
A rendezvous in Romania
Double agents in Australia
In the middle of it all - he can waste no time
In the middle of it all - he just says goodbye, goodbye (Ahh!)
In the middle of it all - he can waste no time
In the middle of it all - he just says goodbye, goodbye
In the middle of it all - he can waste no time
In the middle of it all - he just says goodbye, goodbye
