• LYRICS Always a riddle in the world she says Always a riddle inside my head Always a thing to 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 Oh in dreams I have watched it spin Seen a violent crack of atoms were all that comes in Oh 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 to wonder in 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 Oh in dreams I have watched it spin Seen a violent crack of atoms were all that comes in Oh in dreams I saw Aesop's kin Just a carcass of a man, I belong inside his skin Where to, where to begin? I live alone, I live a lonely life without you And I may be troubled but I'm gracious in defeat Oh I may be troubled but I'm gracious in defeat ************************************ | p Pull-off | / Slide up ************************************
