Hey there, one way street, I've missed your crooked asphalt Lead me to the dead end road See there, parking lot, no more mom and pop shop Just soulless supermarket glow Duty called and I had to leave you Away to far-off distant lands I left a boy, and i've returned this broken man Hey there, mystery Throw your hands into the sky Now be my destiny, surrender Old friends click again to your local backbeat I guess I had to hit and run But now the ba*tard son returns to claim his heritage as The rightful heir to the air in kingdom come Sorry that I could not write you I'm not the correspondence kind Scream at me cathartically, I will not mind Hey there, mystery Throw your hands into the sky Now be my destiny, surrender Hey there, mystery You can hold your head up high now When you speak of me, surrender Divine providence has seen you change a bit, but The years have treated you so kind But no more corner store, no more manhunt weekends No more school, and no more five and dime Duty called and I had to leave you Away to far-off distant lands I left a boy, and I've returned this broken man Hey there, mystery Throw your hands into the sky Now be my destiny, surrender Hey there, mystery You can hold your head up high now When you think of me, surrender Hey there, mystery, you're still a mystery to me
