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
