New York City was a stich in time when I stood all I could of LA

Patchin' up the pieces of my tangled mind diggin' somethin' different every day yeah

Soon as I was better I was movin' on gettin' it together gettin' good and gone

And by (gettin' by) high (good and high) and strange (gonna get some strange)

New ain't nothin' but a state of mind

Keeps a man from missin' what he left behind

I'll take anything that I can find anyhow anywhere anyway anytime

I'll keep livin' till the day I die as long as I can get it up for one more try

Gettin' by (gettin' by) high (good and high) and strange (gonna get some strange)

[ guitar ]

New ain't nothin' but a state of mind...

(Gettin' by good and high) and strange (gonna get some strange)
