Another Mystery Lyrics

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 of the wonders standing 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 want to be the one to feel the sun, oh, oh
so if you want to see the world with me, let's go
The alligator, the god that made her
and all the creatures that got left behind
in mycenaea, 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 want to be the one to feel the sun, oh, oh
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, 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, oh
so if you want to see the world with me, let's go
I don't want to be another mystery

American singer-songwriter Dar Williams lives at the intersection of pop and folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade.

Her studio album My Better Self finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.

Her 2008 album, entitled Promised Land. indieduck.com notes that "Williams turns over relationships in all their misunderstood, misconnected glory, and embraces religion, gender and other complications in her very wise songs. Promised Land draws in themes of nature, as well, and on the whole is a pretty piece of work that ends up feeling upbeat despite itself."

Her most recent album, 2012's In The Time Of The Gods, has a theme of Greek mythology running through it. The You Will Ride With Me Tonight Songfacts reports that Williams got the idea whilst driving on an isolated highway, during a trip from New York to Ontario.
