States I'm In

Lyrics

Seen rose gold haze at the end of the day
 Ragged winged hawk swooping down on prey
 Curtain going up on the nighttime shadow play
 Seen the sun going down set the sea on fire
 Black smoke boiling from burning tires
 And bones in the mud was the blood sacrifice required
 Ooh ee, all the sights I've seen
 The depth of the world and the heart of a dream
 Ooh ee, all the places I've been
 Each one reflected in the states I'm in oh oh
 States I'm in
 One day fit and one day fat
 One day flushed and one day flat
 Reality distorted like a sat on hat
 One day I feel like I'm in control
 Next I'm suspended in a bottomless hole
 A drunk trying to shimmy up a greased pole
 Ooh ee, all the sights I've seen
 The depth of the world and the heart of a dream
 Ooh ee, all the places I've been
 Each one reflected in the states I'm in oh oh
 States I'm in
 I'm slick as a dealer in a green eye shade
 Aces up his sleeve and he's not afraid
 The mayor in his uniform
 Monkeys have been well paid
 Climbing up the ivy to the balcony above
 Where pines the heart of my one true love
 Obsession, delusion, all that waits is a fateful shove
 Ooh ee, all the sights I've seen
 The depth of the world and the heart of a dream
 Ooh ee, all the places I've been
 Each one reflected in the states I'm in oh oh
 States I'm in...
 Crows in the treetops
 Motors in the road
 Structures of darkness that the dawn corrodes
 Into the title montage of a new episode
 Whisper wells up from the deeps untrod
 Overflows the channel and s} reads abroad
 Gathers in power like a lightning rod
 Ooh ee, all the sights I've seen
 The depth of the world and the heart of a dream
 Ooh ee, all the places I've been
 Each one reflected in the states I'm in oh oh
 States I'm in
 Ooh ee, all the sights I've seen
 The depth of the world and the heart of a dream
 Ooh ee, all the places I've been
 Each one reflected in the states I'm in oh oh
 States I'm in
