Bruce Cockburn - States I'm In lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - 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
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?
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee 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
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee 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 eyeshade
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 wait's
Is the fateful shove
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee 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 it's channel and spreads abroad
Gathers in power like a lightning rod
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in
Uh huh states I'm in
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in
Uh huh states I'm in
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?
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee 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
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee 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 eyeshade
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 wait's
Is the fateful shove
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in
Uh huh states I'm in

Structures of darkness that the dawn corrodes
Into the title montage of a new episode
Whisper wells up from the deeps untrod
Overflows it's channel and spreads abroad
Gathers in power like a lightning rod
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in
Uh huh states I'm in
Oo-ee all the sights I've seen
In the depth of the world and
The heart of a dream
Oo-ee all the places I've been
Each one reflected in the states I'm in
Uh huh states I'm in
