Mystery Girls
I had two Irish girlfriends, both named Katherine Fitzpatrick
Both well schooled in the fine art of high drama and theatrics
In a bar called ‘The Bells of Hell’ we drank till we were reeling
Back in my room oblivious in my pleasure
God only knows what they were feeling
All that youth and beauty wasted on me
Me the swine and they the pearls
Ah, they’re a mystery, girls
They’re a mystery, girls
So Eve found out the hard way
Just like everyone who lives
Desire asks for more than it can possibly ever give
The impossible, yeah, we’ve just got to have it
I’m no different from the rest
Our love was a holy war
With a truce now and then at best
Sometimes I think we come from two totally different worlds
Ah, they’re a mystery, girls
They’re a mystery, girls
Her catastrophic history with men, men like me
But we wouldn’t keep walking back into the fire
If there wasn’t something there we need
If it’s all just a fantasy, I can’t live without it
Yeah, promise me the world
Ah, they’re a mystery, girls
They’re a mystery, girls
Yeah, mm, mm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, they’re a mystery, girls
It’s a mystery, girls
A mystery, girls
