Davies, Ray - The Mystery Room Lyrics
It's the middle of the night and I look in the mirror
Hey man, what do you see?
Hear the sound of the train by the river
Crying out, "follow me"
Run down the street, rain on my head
Since I was a kid always wanted to see it
Now I'm faced with mortality
Yeah I hear the greeting
Yet my heart still beating
Yet my heart's still beating
Now there's no retreating
Going into the mystery room
Yeah my body's in free fall
Must be something weird going on in my head
Short circuited cross wired up on the high wire
Hear them play that honky-tonk tune
As we walk to that mystery room
Yeah, can you feel the gloom?
Lifting in the mystery room
Yeah, flight or fight face the fear
Or live in denial turn around get out of here
Or medication in the hope it might disappear
But if you can't see it, you can't beat it
Meanwhile they're playing my tune
It's raining out there but in here it's June
Big black cloud covering us with gloom
That's why I hide in my mystery room
Come and join me
It's a moment too soon
Get your head in the clouds and disappear
'Cos I'm here in my mystery room
Come and join us
We're here in the mystery room
Come and join us
We're here in the mystery room, oh yeah
Yeah, I hear the greeting
Yet my heart's still beating
Now there's no retreating
Going into the mystery room, ha

Davies, Ray The Mystery Room Comments
Another plod of a song with lyric with nothing to say.
Luv this!
love this classic album, Grammy please !!
I don't how Ray Davies does it but he has not disappointed me once in the past 50 years that is why he is my #1 songwriting hero of all time, and #2 is far behind him Ray stands alone! #AMERICANA is my favorite Ray Davies solo album and I absolutely loved all his previous ones but this one even tops those - pure Greatness from the undisputed world champion of songwriters!
He's a hero of mine as well. I've got him neck and neck with Dylan right now, but if the rumored second volume of "Americana" is as masterful as this one was, Ray's gonna vault into first.
Love the basic musical theme of this song. Can sense some rock in it. On the other hand it appears that, despite the hit potential this song has in my opinion, it was treated like a stepchild. Simple instrumentation, lacking in variety. Such a pity.
