Lyrics Middle of the Riddle - 2021 Remaster - Alphaville

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 a smile of her face

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 tea time '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 living in a big boy's mind
Living 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, then I say intuition
Is just another phase of chance
While we're walking the old pyramid's floors (little pharaohs)

And the little black dog, here it comes again
It's a true companion in a foreign land
On a quest for the valley of boojums and birthdays and phonecalls 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 living in a big boy's mind)
(We're living in a big boy's mind)
(Living in a big boy's mind)
(We're living in a big boy's mind)
(We're living in a big boy's mind)
(We're living in a big boy's mind)
(We're living in a big boy's mind)

All of men shan't talk to the man at the helm
And the man at the helm shall talk to no one shall talk to no one at all of men
All of men shan't talk to the man at the helm
And the man at the helm shall talk to no one shall talk to no one at all of men (Rule 42)
And a horse is a rabbit of course (yes, indeed)
Yes, a horse is a rabbit of course
