Send "Mystery Hours" Ringtone to Cell

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

    General Comment: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.

    General Comment: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.
