The riddle
The riddle
I got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon
With time to carry on and try
For sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
Wise men save
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you
I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Of for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you
It's not me you see
Pieces of valentine
With just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you
I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors
Without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Wise men’s child
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you
City Of Angels
Gone fishing for compliments
On hollywood and vine
I'd come to your party
But i haven't finished mine
Talk to the doctor
He turns acid into wine, and…
I am an angel
In the city of angels
Nothing cuts too deep
Yes i am an angel
In the city of angels
And i live the biggest sleep . . . Oh oh oh
I'm off to chew the fat
Where all we in-crowd chew
Hang loose at the Oscar show
And at the yacht club too
Don't mess with me
'Cos i've a bigger house than you. 'Cause
I am an angel
In the city of angels
Nothing cuts too deep
Yes i am an angel
In the city of angels
And i live the biggest sleep
Cos i am an angel
Nothing here is real
Cos i am an angel
In the city of angels
It only matters what you feel
Cause
I am an angel
In the city of angels
And everything is cool
Cause i am an angel
In the city of angels
It's me i'm trying to fool
'Cos i am an angel
In the city of angels
Nothings as it seems
'Cos i am an angel
In the city of angels
So come and live your dreams
'Cos i am an angel
In the city of angels
Nothing cuts too deep
'Cos i am an angel
In the city of angels
And i live the biggest sleep
