Lyrics Riddle House - The Birthday Party

Riddle House

The street is very wide
And I can’t see across it
My house isn’t clear to me
The cars move in between
And I say «Question:
When is a door not a door?»
And I say «That's not right!
Answer: When it’s ajar!»
The numbers soft as soap
And tend to bend in addition
They’re much too wan for me
I’d prefer some consistency
And I say «Question:
When is a door not a door?»
And I say «That's not right!
Answer: when it’s ajar!»
The windows open wide
But I can’t see out of it
The view is not very there
Sometimes I look for it
And I say «Question:
When is a door not a door?»
And I say «That's not right!
Answer: «When it’s ajar!»
