Riddle House (howard) Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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
