Another Mystery by Dar Williams Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Get off your catwalk
I want you to talk
To be the seer
Instead of the seen
There is a flower
A leaning tower

[Pre-Chorus]
And all of the wonders stand in between

[Chorus]
I don't want to be another mystery, oh no
I don't want to see who's looking at me, oh no
I want to be the one to feel the sun, oh whoa
So if you want to see the world with me, let's go

[Verse 2]
The alligator
The god that made her
And all of the creatures
That got left behind
In Mycenae
Ave Maria
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I don't want to be another mystery
I don't want to be another mystery
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I don't want to be another mystery, oh no
I don't want to see who's looking at me, oh no
I want to be the one to feel the sun, oh whoa
So if you want to see the world with me, let's go
I don't want to be another mystery
