[Verse 1]

It's 11:28

Hollywood and Vine, that's where he said to be

He's forty minutes late

Did they get to him before he got to me?


[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe this is him slipping out of the shadow

I wanna run, but now his hand's on my shoulder

Oh-oh


[Chorus]

Suspense

Tangled up in a mystery

'Cause I love the chill, the thrill of living dangerously

I live for suspense

I love the rush of adrenaline

Oh, life is never humdrum, there's always some suspense


[Verse 2]

It's just a false alarm

Huh, nothing but a bum who wants a cigarette

That tattoo on his arm

I recognized the symbols, how could I forget?


[Pre-Chorus]

I was sure they got him back in Vienna

Suddenly, the puzzle's coming together

Oh-oh


[Chorus]

Suspense

Tangled up in a mystery

'Cause I love the chill, the thrill of living dangerously

I live for suspense

I love the rush of adrenaline

Oh, life is never humdrum, there's always some suspense


[Instrumental Break]


[Pre-Chorus]

I was sure they got him back in Vienna

Suddenly, the puzzle's coming together

Oh-oh


[Chorus]

Suspense

I'm tangled up in a mystery

'Cause I love the chill, the thrill of living dangerously

I live for suspense

I love the rush of adrenaline

Oh, life is never humdrum, there's always some suspense


[Outro]

Tangled up in a mystery

Suspense (Suspense)

The thrill of living dangerously

Suspense (Suspense)

I'm tangled up in a mystery

Suspense (Suspense)

The thrill of living dangerously
