Lyrics Quiz: Mystery Theme

Lyrics Quiz with a theme...

  1. "Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all, Or if he moves will he fall?"
  2. "A jumped-up pantry boy, who never knew his place. He said 'return the rings'. He knows so much about these things."
  3. "'Cause he gets up in the morning, And he goes to work at nine, And he comes back home at five-thirty, Gets the same train every time."
  4. "Better keep your head. Don't forget what your good book said."
  5. "She dreams in color, she dreams in red."
  6. "Belinda was mine, till the time that I found her, Holding Jim, and loving him."
  7. " Johnny's playroom is a bunker filled with sand."
  8. "With a noose around his neck, Cicadas trilling everywhere, He says to the people gathered round him, 'It ain't the water that's not right around here.' "
  9. "His western shirts and leather, always look so boss. Funky with his body, he's a king. Call him Mister Eagle, dig his chains."
  10. "Well I quit my job down at the car wash. I left my mama a goodbye note. By sundown I'd left Kingston, With my guitar under my coat."
