a long ago and what's his name
yeah
spilled out on the road like a bucket of rain
you know i didn't come to 'cause she knows my mind
it's 'cause she stones my soul a sleep at a time
lay down your ribbons and bows
and let your hair hang greasy and low
and oh
on a sparkling cushion we lie
it's like
like a new state of mind
yeah
it's a new state of mind
she was the newest mama in the shortest skirt
i promise never again to tell how it hurt
yeah
but as my mind goes dancing while the gin picks the tune
hitch your ride to my wagon
i'll bring you the moon
lay down your ribbons and bows
and let your hair hang greasy and low
and oh
on a gift shop cushion we lie
it's like
like a new state of mind
yeah
it's a new state of mind
lay down your ribbons and bows
and let your hair hang greasy and low
and oh
on a sparkling cushion we lie
it's like
like a new state of mind
yeah
it's a new state of mind
lay down your ribbons and bows
when they beat me down i got a joint where we can go
and oh
on a gift shop cushion we lie
it's like
like a new state of mind
yeah
it's a new state of mind
it's a new state of mind
it's a new state of mind
