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, 'cos 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, 'cos 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, 'cos 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, 'cos I knew what I'd find, 
You're really only livin' in a state of mind.
