All veils and misty 
Streets of blue 
Almond looks 
That chill divine 
Some silken moment 
Goes on forever 
And we're leaving broken hearts behind 

Mystify 
Mystify me 
Mystify 
Mystify me 

I need perfection 
Some twisted selection 
That tangles me 
To keep me alive 

In all that exists 
None have your beauty 
I see your face 
I will survive

Mystify 
Mystify me 
Mystify 
Mystify me  

Eternally wild with the power 
To make every moment come alive 
All those stars that shine upon you 
Will kiss you every night 

All veils and misty 
Streets of blue 
Almond looks 
That chill divine 
Some silken moment 
Goes on forever 
And we're leaving 
Yeah we're leaving broken hearts behind 

Mystify 
Mystify me 
Mystify 
Mystify me 

You're eternally wild with the power 
To make every moment come alive 
All those stars that shine upon you 
And they'll kiss you every night 

Mystify 
Mystify me 
Mystify 
Mystify me 
Mystify 
Mystify me 
Mystify

INXS

INXS (pronounced "in excess", In-XS) were an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. Mainstays were Garry Gary Beers on bass guitar, Andrew Farriss on guitar and keyboards, Jon Farriss on drums, Tim Farriss on lead guitar and Kirk Pengilly on guitar and saxophone. For 20 years, INXS were fronted by Michael Hutchence on lead vocals, whose "sultry good looks" and magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band. Initially known for their New Wave/ska/pop style, they later developed a harder pub rock style, including funk and dance elements. more »
