Well the man’s name is Sunshine And he come up from the town Said he bring a proposition For a man when he’s down Gonna buy me an aeroplane Gonna teach me how to fly Gonna take me to America Gonna make Mama cry
And when I hear that lonesome train whistle blow Then I know it’s time for me to go I been round this cold hard town too long There’s so many roads a man could go Roads that glisten in the night like diamonds Oh how I long to be Living the mystery Living the mystery
Well the phone keep on ringin’ But the man’s never home Ain’t nobody at this address.. Will you people move along!’ Well I’m a sure fire addict For a world up in the stars Turn a new sod over C’est la vie, au revoir
And when I hear that lonesome train whistle blow Then I know it’s time for me to go I been round this cold hard town too long There’s so many roads a man could go Roads that echo in the night, I hear them Calling to you and me to keep on
Living the mystery, Living the mystery
Well I’m a sure fire addict For a world up in the stars Turn a new sod over C’est la vie, au revoir C’est la vie, au revoir Living the mystery
