Riddle House (howard)

by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds

from Album: unknown

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
