Alphaville - MIDDLE OF THE RIDDLE lyrics

a lonely man

And he blows on his horn as

strong as he can

And the girl at the bar wipoes the breath

of winter away with a smile of her face

And a little black dog barks along

with a loon

Is this my appointment or did I came

too soon

Got a strange invitation for teatime 'twas

given by somebody

I can't recall

It's the middle of the riddle

It's not very serious

It's nothing but a big surprise

And the president's horse is a rabbit

of course

That is livin' in a big boy's mind

Livin' in a big boy's mind

And I skate on a knife on a wire

That is strung from this song

to a distant shore

And then I say

Intuition is just another phase of chance

While we're walking the old

pyramid's floors

(Little pharaoh's)

And the little black dog

Here it comes again

He's a true companion in a foreign land

On a quest for the valley of boojums and birthdays

And phone calls I cannot recall

It's the middle of the riddle

It's not very serious

It's nothing but a big surprise

And the president's horse is a rabbit

of course

That is livin' in a big boy's mind

We're livin' in a big boy's mind

Livin' in a big boy's mind

All of man shan't talk to the one

at the helm

And the man at the helm shall talk to no

one at all (Rule forty-two)

And a horse is a rabbit of course

(Yes indeed)

Yes, a horse is a rabbit of course
