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-ee all the sights I've seen In 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, 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-ee all the sights I've seen In 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, 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 waits is the fateful shove Ooh-ee all the sights I've seen In 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, 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-ee all the sights I've seen In 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, uh huh States I'm in Ooh-ee all the sights I've seen In 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, uh huh States I'm in
