This is the state of my mind | When you gonna let me out of the light?
These orange and yellows aren’t making me mellow 
Up tight | is the state of my mind
And I never hear what the people say 
Until over this river of thoughts they deliver | up tight thoughts
Into the state of my mind 

Oh when are you gonna let me unwind?
‘Cause I’m born of thunder but stripped of my wonder

[ooh hoo]
[ooh hoo]

The world is bright grey
[ooh hoo]

I must have fallen asleep that day

[ooh hoo]
The world is bright grey,

[ooh hoo]
[ooh hoo]

And that’s the state of my mind
Oh when are you gonna let me out of the light?
Fore these orange and yellows aren’t making me mellow | no more
And it’s a [bad word] of a bore

[ooh hoo]
[ooh hoo]

The world is bright grey

[ooh hoo]
[ooh hoo]

I’m must have fallen asleep that day

[ooh hoo]
[ooh hoo]

The world is bright grey

[ooh hoo]
[ooh hoo]

[ooh hoo]
[ooh hoo]

And that’s the sate of my mind
