Riddler Riddler ask me why
The birds fly free on a mackerel sky
Ask me whither goes the wind
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
{Refrain:}
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
{au Refrain}
For nature hates virginity
I wish to be touched
Not by the hands of where´s and why´s
But by the Oceans´ minds
{au Refrain}
