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 is 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 childrens 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
Challenge the Riddler and you will see
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 is 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 childrens 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 Challenge the Riddler and you will see Explain Request ×
