Always a riddle in the world, she said

Always a riddle inside my head

Always a thing of wonder, the way we come to beOh, it′s a big old place for me, yeah, it's a big old world indeed

Everyone is killing me and everything conspires

Mm, in dreams, I have watched it spin

Seen a violent crack of atoms where all light comes in

Mm, 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

Mm, in dreams, I have watched it spin

Seen a violent crack of atoms where all light comes in

Mm, 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

I live alone in life without you here

Mm, I may be troubled, but I′m gracious in defeat

Oh, I may be troubled, but I'm gracious in defeat
