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
