Seen rose gold haze at the end of the day
Ragged-winged hawk swooping down on prey
Curtain going up on the night time shadow play
Seen 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-wee, all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and the heart of a dream
Ooh-wee, all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in, uh huh
States I'm in
One day fit and one day fat
One day flush 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 shinny up a greased pole
Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and the heart of a dream
Ooh-wee, all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in, uh huh
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 and his uniformed 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 the fateful shove
Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and the heart of a dream
Ooh-wee, all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in, uh huh
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 spreads abroad
Gathers in power like a lightning rod
Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and the heart of a dream
Ooh-wee, all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in, uh huh
States I'm in
Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and the heart of a dream
Ooh-wee, all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in, uh huh
States I'm in
