Bush - Altered States

living in a cage washing in a bird bath
sinking in a fishbowl on a broken farm
i try to never lie i really do
i wonder if my friends will get me through
conscious of the way as best we can
17 ways to kill a man
states we've been through

killing nostalgia for future swims
trash all your bridges
kill the rock and roll thing

i want to move on with no complaints
building our walls with yesterday
might as well shine before you slide
might as well live before you die
states we've been through

a whole lot of emptiness

living in a state constant changing
a river of flux for our tasting

i try to never lie i really do
i wonder if my friends will get me through
it always seems to rain when you leave
i try to stem thef low as we bleed

states we've been through
