Text: The Pretenders. Mystery Achievement.
MYSTERY ACHIEVEMENT
DON'T BREATHE DOWN MY NECK NO
I GOT NO TROPHIES ON DISPLAY
I SIGN THEM AWAY
I MEAN WHAT THE HECK
ALL OF YOUR PROMISES
DON'T FILL ME WITH PRIDE NO
I JUST WANNA GET OUT ON THE FLOOR
AND DO THE CUBAN SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE, SLIDE
(CHORUS)
BUT EVERY DAY, EVERY NIGHTTIME I FIND
MYSTERY ACHIEVEMENT
YOU'RE ON MY MIND
AND EVERY DAY, EVERY NIGHTTIME I FEEL
MYSTERY ACHIEVEMENT YOU'RE SO UNREAL
MYSTERY ACHIEVEMENT
WHERE'S MY SANDY BEACH? YEAH
I HAD MY DREAMS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE
BUT THEY'RE OUT OF REACH
I SAID RIGHT OUT OF REACH
I COULD IGNORE YOU
YOUR DEMANDS ARE UNENDING
I GOT NO TEARS ON MY ICE CREAM BUT YOU KNOW ME
I LOVE PRETENDING
(CHORUS)
DON'T BREATHE DOWN MY NECK NO
