Lyrics for 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!"
