"Mystery World" lyrics

Lay awake in bed at night
Can't sleep 'cause the world's on fire
Sweet dreams goin' up in smoke
Headlines say that there ain't no hope

It's a mystery, a mystery world

Blood running on the desert sand
It's all part of a crazy plan
Soldiers die, they just send some more
Nobody knows what they're fighting for

It's a mystery, a mystery world
It's a mystery, a mystery world
Ooh, ooh...

Storm clouds over New Orleans
Brought the people down to their knees
President said it won't take long
Then he turned his back, and now the mud is all gone

It's a mystery, a mystery world
It's a mystery, a mystery world

There's a heart rate [?] falling down around us
We could be drowning in our fears
Sometimes I feel the light is disappearing
(Disappearing, disappearing...)
A mystery world
Ooh, ooh...

Dead man laying on the dusty road
They took his farm about a month ago
People said it was a goddamn shame
To see a good man lose it all this way

It's a mystery, a mystery world
It's a mystery, a mystery world
(Hey, yeah) Ooh, ooh, ooh...
Mystery world
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
