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 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
