State Of Things

Blind fold me
Tie me up or tie me down.
Yeah take me anywhere
Keep your ears close to the ground.
Listen to me but don't die laughing.
All things must end yeah?
But I can see my fate in your eyes
As I'm stiched up by my friends again.
They just can't defend the state of things
Between you and me
Used to be on fire.
So slip off your shackies
You don't need them where we're going.
See what happens just happens
There ain't no straight lines in the state of things.
So try to cling on for dear life
And don't forget the world keeps on turning round
Despite you and me
Used to be on fire, fire.
Now look now at where we're going.
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know.
