States I'm In

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
