Another Mystery - Lyrics - Dar Williams

Get off your catwalk, I want you to talk To be the seer instead of the seen There is a flower, a leaning tower And all the wonders stand in between I don't want to be another mystery, oh no I don't want to see who's looking at me, oh no I wanna be the one to feel the sun, oh whoa So if you want to see the world with me, let's go The alligator, the god that made her And all of the creatures that got left behind And Mycenae, Ave Maria And everything you gotta dig harder to find I don't want to be a vapor of heavenly light Everybody guess if I'm an angel or sprite I don't want to be another mystery, oh no I don't want to see who's looking at me, oh no I wanna be the one to feel the sun, oh whoa So if you want to see the world with me, let's go You could pursue it, hell I could do it I'll just be quiet when I get angry and hurt I'm stopping traffic, cinemagraphic With my long black coat hanging down in the dirt And my hair clinging to my face in the rain Like a goddess from the cult of beautiful pain I don't want to be another mystery I don't want to be another mystery I could cut you off with a shoulder of stone Smoke all night and leave the party alone Screw myself with an inscrutable pout But I just want you to come figure me out I don't want to be another mystery
