Always a riddle in the world she said Always a riddle inside my head Always a thing of wonder The way we come to be
Oh it's a big old place for me Yeah it's a big old world indeed Everyone is killing me and everything conspires
In dreams I have watched it spin Seen the violent crack of atoms where all light comes in In dreams I have lain in sin Just to be the cracked and the cared for
How can I ask, ask for more?
Always a riddle in the world she said Always a riddle inside my head Always a thing of wonder The way we come to be
Oh it's a big old place for me Well it's a big old world indeed Been kicking my heels and wondering how I've been here so long In dreams I have watched it spin Seen the violent crack of atoms where all light comes In In dreams I have seen aesops kin Just the carcass of a man now alone inside his skin
Mmmm mmmmm mmmm
Where to, where to begin?
I live alone I live a lonely life without you [x2:] And I may be troubled But I'm gracious in defeat
