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
