Dar Williams Picture
American singer-songwriterDar Williams lives at the intersection of popand folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade. Her most recent 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.

Another Mystery Lyrics

Dar Williams

Get off your cat walk, 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 dont want to be another mystery oh no
I dont want to see whos 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 lets go
The alligator, the God that made her
And all the creatures that got left behind
In mycnnae, ave maria
And everything you gotta dig harder to find
I dont want to be a vapor of heavenly light
Everybody guess if Im an angel or sprite
I dont want to be another mystery oh no
I dont want to see whos 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 lets go
You could pursue it, hell I could do it
Ill just be quiet when I get angry and hurt
Im 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 dont want to be another mystery
I dont 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 dont want to be another mystery oh no
I dont want to see whos 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 lets go
I dont want to be another mystery
