V6

[Verse 1] You lean against the painted wall With one red sleeve and one black shoe A crooked grin says tell me all The little secrets hiding in you [Pre-Chorus] Your paper crown is coming loose You laugh like you have nothing to lose [Chorus] Turn around, little riddle, let the whole room spin With a pocket full of marbles and a crooked silver pin Turn around, little riddle, let the daylight in Nobody knows where you are going But everybody wants to follow when you grin [Verse 2] The blue bird stitched upon your coat Keeps watch beside a golden thread You balance dreams inside a boat That someone folded by the bed [Pre-Chorus] Your painted hands point to the door Then you disappear across the floor [Chorus] Turn around, little riddle, let the whole room spin With a pocket full of marbles and a crooked silver pin Turn around, little riddle, let the daylight in Nobody knows where you are going But everybody wants to follow when you grin [Bridge] If the world insists on standing still Draw a window on the windowsill If the road forgets your name Wear a bright disguise and play the game [Final Chorus] Turn around, little riddle, let the whole room spin With a pocket full of marbles and a crooked silver pin Turn around, little riddle, let the daylight in Nobody knows where you are going But everybody wants to follow when you grin [Outro] One red sleeve, one black shoe A secret smile, a sky of blue
