Lyrics:
I was goin' round the world,
I was looking for somewhere,
I was searchin' for someone,
Who was gonna take me there,
Didn't want to do it, 'cause I knew what I'd find,
You're really only livin' in a state of mind,
I was thinkin' of the past,
I was tryin' to wrack my brain,
I was looking at the future,
I was trying to play the game,
Didn't want to do it, 'cause I knew what I'd find,
You're really only livin' in a state of mind,
Sometimes you get lost, sometimes you get found,
In a state of mind,
Sometimes you're too high, sometimes you're too down,
It's just a state of mind,
Didn't want to do it, 'cause I knew what I'd find,
You're really only livin' in a state of mind,
Sometimes you get lost, sometimes you get found,
In a state of mind,
Sometimes you're too high, sometimes you're too down,
It's just a state of mind,
You think you know it all,
Then you think that you know nothing,
Can't dance; can't crawl,
Maybe you better forget it,
Didn't want to do it, cause I knew what I'd find,
You're really only livin' in a state of mind.
