Riddle in the rain — The Go-Betweens Lyrics

Well way back in crete
And you've got the chills
Your bent dancers feet
And I'm worrying about the bills
You rock and roll school girl
You said the mechanism was fixed
You let your lips curl
It's funny how somethings stick

Chorus
But here it comes again
This riddle in the rain
But I'm still a long way
I'm not even close
Tell me who do I pay to get rid of your ghost

And your love of life
The way you walk downhill
You could have been my wife
I guess there are some holes you dont fill
A genuine proposal a shifting of skin
Then a quick disposal to the cut off bin

Chorus

And 2 weeks in lent
A time of denial
You deceptive innocent
Yeah I know this is final
And pipes can break and milk can go sour
But I'm still waking up with aches at early morning hours

Chorus

Invaded by pictures of a hospital bed
Drips, cuts and stitches and your shaking head
A necessary performance, maybe an exorcism
I never did see you dance is this what its like in prison

Chorus

A reluctant bitter feminist
A boy with thin wrists
A tall man with a gift and i'd never been kissed
From my german window things move pretty slow
All I want to know is there another arrow in the bow

Chorus

Well here comes the twist
Though you cant be traced I still cant resist the distant burn of your face
Well I'm back in crete
It's a morgue of silence
But the suns looking sweet coming up over the horizon

Chorus
