Mystery Hours Lyrics
Always the true one, calm, selective
Staking a claim among the young defectives
Far off under the nighttime, baby
Crawl into the wave
Got to be cool now, unprotected
You come around every day to collect me
Far off into the nighttime, baby
Crawl into the wave
Come on, give it to me
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
But officers, the rumbling
The sound of the collective crumbling
Around to the ground
Surrender the town
I call out the numbers
The rumble of collected thunder today
The wages are down
Come on, give it to me
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Mystery hours
Mystery hours
Mystery hours
Mystery hours
But officers, the rumbling
The sound of the collective crumbling
Around to the ground
Surrender the town
I call out the numbers
The rumble of collected thunder today
The wages are down
Come on, give it to me
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Staking a claim among the young defectives
Far off under the nighttime, baby
Crawl into the wave
You come around every day to collect me
Far off into the nighttime, baby
Crawl into the wave
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
The sound of the collective crumbling
Around to the ground
Surrender the town
I call out the numbers
The rumble of collected thunder today
The wages are down
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Mystery hours
Mystery hours
Mystery hours
The sound of the collective crumbling
Around to the ground
Surrender the town
I call out the numbers
The rumble of collected thunder today
The wages are down
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours
Yes, those mystery hours

well I'm not sure, I think it's about someone who doesn't let anyone in, like a wall around her heart or whatever and he sings about trying to get in, break down the wall?....haha I don't know, I'm prolly wrong.
pretty sure its about a prostitute....
read the lyrics with that in mind, it all pretty much fits.
I read ianj's comment before trying to figure out the tune for myself so I don't know if that influenced my opinion but makes sense. I now think it's about a prostitute.
