Alphaville
Middle Of The Riddle
[Verse 1]
At the edge of the moon there's
A lonely man
And he blows on his horn as
Strong as he can
And the girl at the bar wipes the breath
Of winter away with the smile on her face

[Verse 2]
And a little black dog barks along
With a loon
Is this my appointment or did I come
Too soon?
Got a strange invitation for teatime 'twas
Given by somebody
I can't recall

[Chorus]
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
And it's livin' in a big boy's mind
Livin' in a big boy's mind
[Verse 3]
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 face of chance
While we're walking the old
Pyramid's floors
(Little pharaoh's)

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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
We're livin' in a big boy's mind
We're livin' in a big boy's mind
We're livin' in a big boy's mind
We're livin' in a big boy's mind
[Bridge]
All of man shan't talk to the man at the helm
And the man at the helm shall talk to no one
(He) Shall talk to no one at all
All of man shan't talk to the man at the helm
And the man at the helm shall talk to no one
(He) 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
