Nick Cave - Riddle house

The street is very wide and I can't see across it my house isn't clear to me the cars move in between Chorus And I say: Question when is a door not a door??? and I say: "That's not right! answer when it's a jar The numbers soft as soap and tend to bend in addition they're much too wan for me I'd prefer some consistancy Chorus The windows open wide but I can't see out of it the view is not very there some-times I look for it Chorus
