In Dreams

Always a riddle in the world she said 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 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? Always a riddle in the world she said 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 where all light comes in Oh, in dreams I saw Aesop's kin Just a carcass of a man, I belong inside his skin Mmm 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
