Lyrics
Riddler, Riddler ask me why                    The birds fly free on a mackerel sky                       Ask me whither goes the winds                 Whence the endlesstick-tick stream begins                Make me guess if the Earth is flat or round                  Set a quessing if fantasies are unbound                  If tale 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 wisdom's 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 theait 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                              (
Repeat chorus) For nature hates virginity I wish to be touched Not by the hands of where's and why's But by the Ocean's minds (
Repeat chorus)
