Riddle House (howard) Lyrics

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 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


Chorus
