In Dreams

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 eveything conspires

Mmm, in dreams I have watched it spin

Seen the violent crack of atoms where all light comes in

Mmm, 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

Yeah, it's a big old world indeed

Kicking my heels and wondering how I've been here so long

Mmm, in dreams I have watched it spin

Seen the violent crack of atoms where all light comes in

Mmm, 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 a lonely life without you

And I may be troubled

But I'm gracious in defeat

And I may be troubled

But I'm gracious in defeat
