State Street State Of Mind

Come outside and we'll take a walk
Can laugh outloud
No one will talk
Go barefoot
And never feel obscene

Theres a girl over there by the windowsill
And it looks like shes got time to kill
But she says "Nothing really matters,
And what if it did?"

But don't think that its so strange
Yeah, and don't act so surprised
Well shes quite content
In a state street state of mind

Theres a house next door
Where they never sleep
And theres music coming from up the street
Its the song you know
And so you sing the tune

And we try to talk above the din
About the world and the shape its in
And then we laugh
Cuz nothing seems to matter today

But don't think that its so strange
And worthless in your eyes
Well we're quite content
In a state street state of mind

And the words
Speak the joy
That underlies the pain
The pain
The pain
The pain

Well come outside
And we'll take a walk
The years fly by
The plans trail off
And you think of a time
Before you lost your way

And the music played
And the man displayed
And the girl over there
By the window would say
"Nothing really matters, anyway"

You dont think that its so strange
Yeah you dont act so surprised
Well shes quite content
In a state street state of mind
And hes quite content
In a state street state of mind
Well we're all content
In a state street state of mind
