Nick Cave & The Badseeds - Riddle House (Howard)

**************************************************





The street is very wide

and I can't see across it

my house isn't clear to me

the cars move in between





Chorus And I say: Question

when is a door not a door???

and I say: "That's not right!

answer when it's a jar





The numbers soft as soap

and tend to bend in addition

they're much too wan for me

I'd prefer some consistancy





Chorus



The windows open wide

but I can't see out of it

the view is not very there

some-times I look for it
