Who Are the Mystery Kids - Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Chris Thompson

Marcellino, Casanova

Little angel from Laslow Street

Cinderella, she’s a crossover

She got no father in history

Got no good life, got no love life

Got no future, got no hopes and dreams

In a cruel world, in a cool world

You’re a number, you’re a mystery

Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids?

Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids?

Little Jimmy, hit and run boy

You can trust he’ll take the strain

I remember when he said to me

«There's a war going through my brain»

And everyone still talks about the time

Sweet Mary drank all that wine

And I just cannot believe what I see

They’re so strange they’re a mystery

Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids?

Who are the mystery, mystery kids, the mystery kids?

And I say farewell

As the lights go out in the dark stairwell

Can’t take anymore
