State Street State of Mind - Better Than Ezra

Come outside and we’ll take a walk

you can laugh out loud no one will talk

go barefoot and never feel obscene

there’s a girl over there by the windowsill

ad it looks like she got some time to kill

and she says «nothing ever matters and what if it did?

«but you don’t think that its so strange

yeah and don’t act so surprised

well she’s quite content in a state street state of mind

there’s a house next door where they never sleep

and there’s music coming from up the street

its the song you know and so you sing the tune

and we try to talk above the den

about the world and the shape its in and then we laugh

cause nothing seems to matter today

but don’t think that 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

years fly by, the plants 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 don’t think that its so strange

yeah you don’t act so surprised

well she’s quite content in a state street state of mind

and he’s quite content in a state street state of mind

well we’re all content in state street state of mind
