It used to be easy, now Im doin my time
Workin so hard I got a pain in my side
Runnin up a hill tryin to catch my breath
Nowhere to go when I need some rest
Where do I hide, take me away
From this lonely state of mind
Ive got to say, its time to play tonight
Oh, Ive been thinkin that Im not living
But its only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, Ive been thinkin that Im not living
But its only just a state of mind
Ive been doing my best but theres one regret
That I live in this state of mind
My phone machines beeping and its hurting my head
Twenty-eight messages, I said
People come and go like a thief in the night
Taking my heart, stealing my time
Papers and dreams, what does it mean
When Im in this state of mind
Polite as I seem, I want to scream inside
Oh, Ive been thinkin that Im not living
But its only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, Ive been thinkin that Im not living
But its only just a state of mind
Ive been doing my best but theres one regret
That I live in this state of mind
Oh, Ive been thinkin that Im not living
But its only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, Ive been thinkin that Im not living
But its only just a state of mind
Ive been doing my best but theres one regret
That I live in this state of mind
Oh, Ive been thinkin that Im not living
But its only just a state of mind
Ive been doing my best but theres one regret
That I live in this state of mind
