All is a riddle in the world she said Always a riddle inside my head All is a thing I wonder the way you come to be All is a big old place for me It's a big old world indeed Everyone is killing me and everything conspires Oh, in dreams I have watched it spin Seen the violent crack of atoms where all light 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 All is a riddle in the world she said Always a riddle inside my head All is a thing I wonder the way you come to be All is a big old place for me It's a big old world indeed Kickin my heels and wondering how iv been here so long Oh, in dreams I have watched it spin Seen the violent crack of atoms where all light comes in Oh, in dreams I saw Aesop's kin Just a carcass of a man, now alone inside his skin Where to, where to begin I live alone now, I live a lonely life without you here I may be troubled But i'm gracious in defeat I may be troubled But i'm gracious in defeat
