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 a 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 says
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
Kicking my heels and wondering how I've been here so long
In dreams I have watched it spin
See a violent crack of atoms where all light comes in
Mhh in dreams I saw Aesop's kin
Just a carcass of a man, all alone inside his skin
Where to, where to begin?
I live alone now
I live alone in life without you here
I may be troubled but I'm gracious in defeat
Oh I may be troubled but I'm gracious in defeat
