The Riddler Lyrics


Riddler, Riddler ask me

why the birds fly free on a mackerel sky.

Ask me whither goes the winds

whence the endless tick-tick stream begins.

Make me guess if the earth is flat or round,

set a guessing if fantasies are unbound.

If tales aren't just for children to see,

that it's peace if sleep walks with me.

As you wish

for kingdom come,

the one to know

all the answers.

You think you dwell in wisdoms sea,

still sweet ignorance is the key

to a poet's paradise.

Challenge the Riddler and you will see.

Riddler, Riddler ask me

why all mothers beneath the earth and sky,

hold their children's hands for a while,

their hearts forever, yours and mine.

Make me wonder what's the meaning of life,

what's the use to be born and then die.

Make me guess who's the one

behind the mask of father and son.

As you wish

for kingdom come,

the one to know

all the answers.

You think you dwell in wisdoms sea,

still sweet ignorance is the key

to a poet's paradise.

Challenge the Riddler and you will see.

For nature hates virginity,

I wish to be touched.

Not by the hands of where's and why's,

but by the Oceans' minds.

As you wish

for kingdom come,

the one to know

all the answers.

You think you dwell in wisdoms sea,

still sweet ignorance is the key

to a poet's paradise.

As you wish

for kingdom come,

the one to know

all the answers.

You think you dwell in wisdoms sea,

still sweet ignorance is the key

to a poet's paradise.

Challenge the Riddler and you will see.
