Verse 1:
                  
  It's how the hustle goes:
                              
  See what the jukebox knows.
                  
  Put my last quarter on,
                          
  I play "Authority Song". 


Chorus:
           
  Honesty or mystery?
                            
  Tell me, I'm not scared anymore (aaha, aaha)

  I've got no secret purpose,
                            
  I don't seem obvious, do I?
       
  Do I?
                             
  I don't seem obvious, do I?
       
  Do I?   (I don't seem obvious, do..)


Verse 2:
           
  The DJ never has it: 
          
  JAMC automatic.
                    
            (Do I?)
                      
  If those were Roy's headphones,
                    
  You bet he'd play "What Goes On".
                                    
                              (Do I?)


Chorus:
           
  Honesty or mystery?
                            
  Tell me, I'm not scared anymore (aaha, aaha)

  I've got no secret purpose, 
                            
  I don't seem obvious, do I?
       
  Do I?
                             
  I don't seem obvious, do I?
       
  Do I?


Bridge:
                            
 I don't seem obvious, do I?
      
 Do I?
                  
 Uh huh, well I'm here,
                 
 That means something, doesn't it?
                                 
 Uh huh, won't you dance with me a little bit?
                   
 Uh huh, you don't notice
                     
'Cos the music's too loud...


         
         


Repeat Verse 1:
                  
  It's how the hustle goes: 
                  
  See what the jukebox knows.
                                      
                           (Do I...? Do I?...)
                  
  Put my last quarter on,
              
  I play "Authority Song".
                               
                       (Do I?)


Chorus:
           
  Honesty or mystery?
                            
  Tell me, I'm not scared anymore (aaha, aaha)
           
  Say anything you want, I'm ready,
                   
  I'm not scared anymore (aaha, aaha)

  Honesty or mystery?

  Want something else? Just tell me,
                    
  I'm not scared anymore (aaha, aaha)
                             
  I've got no secret purpose.
