It used to be easy, now I`m doin` my time
Workin` so hard I got a pain in my side
Runnin` up a hill tryin` to catch my breath
Nowhere to go when I need some rest
Where do I hide, take me away
From this lonely state of mind
I`ve got to say, it`s time to play tonight
Oh, I`ve been thinkin` that I`m not living
But it`s only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, I`ve been thinkin` that I`m not living
But it`s only just a state of mind
I`ve been doing my best but there`s one regret
That I live in this state of mind
My phone machine`s beeping and it`s hurting my head
Twenty-eight messages, I said
People come and go like a thief in the night
Taking my heart, stealing my time
Papers and dreams, what does it mean
When I`m in this state of mind
Polite as I seem, I want to scream inside
Oh, I`ve been thinkin` that I`m not living
But it`s only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, I`ve been thinkin` that I`m not living
But it`s only just a state of mind
I`ve been doing my best but there`s one regret
That I live in this state of mind
Oh, I`ve been thinkin` that I`m not living
But it`s only just a state of mind
Time to roll the dice, close my eyes and let it ride
Oh, I`ve been thinkin` that I`m not living
But it`s only just a state of mind
I`ve been doing my best but there`s one regret
That I live in this state of mind
Oh, I`ve been thinkin` that I`m not living
But it`s only just a state of mind
I`ve been doing my best but there`s one regret
That I live in this state of mind
