I saw the night fall, I saw the sunrise
And a lot of things of interest in between
Some were sleeping through the stardance
Reenacted true to life on the silver screen
I saw the night fall, I saw the sunrise
And waited rather patiently beside
You were somewhere completely different
As I watched the reels of footage rewind
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What to worry
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What's your hurry
Sixty seconds to the hour
With the crowd all high and edgy in a file
Overlapping nervous chatter
Small talk to kill a minute in high style
Sixty moments caught forever
On a sticky strip of plastic in a can
And you were somewhere completely different
As I watch the reels of footage yet again and again
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What to worry
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What's your hurry
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What to worry
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What's your hurry
I saw the night fall, I saw the sunrise
And a lot of things of interest in between
Some were sleeping through the stardance
Reenacted true to life on the silver screen
I saw the night fall, I saw the sunrise
And waited rather patiently beside
You were somewhere completely different
As I watched the reels of footage rewind
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What to worry
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What's your hurry
Sixty seconds to the hour
With the crowd all high and edgy in a file
Overlapping nervous chatter
Small talk to kill a minute in high style
Sixty moments caught forever
On a sticky strip of plastic in a can
And you were somewhere completely different
As I watch the reels of footage yet again and again
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What to worry
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What's your hurry
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What to worry
So what to worry (so what to worry)
What's your hurry
Standing at the door I see you smiling with stone faces
Trying to secure your thoughts in vacant empty pages
Leaving notes while waiting coats wait softly as I'm leaving
Troubled shooting ignorant
While I go on believing
Color coated spectacles with eyes so steady gazing
Meeting in the back room while the haze continues hazing
Broken backs discover laughs behind continued grieving
Parading in their party dress
The rest go on believing
Seeing signs inside their minds the lies become reflections
Moving fast through things of past who's answer mocks the question
Waiting still as Jacks and Jills have taken all the feeling
Selling out we watch in doubt
But still go on believing
Standing at the door I see you smiling with stone faces
Trying to secure your thoughts in vacant empty pages
Leaving notes while waiting coats wait softly as I'm leaving
Troubled shooting ignorant
While I go on believing
Color coated spectacles with eyes so steady gazing
Meeting in the back room while the haze continues hazing
Broken backs discover laughs behind continued grieving
Parading in their party dress
The rest go on believing
Seeing signs inside their minds the lies become reflections
Moving fast through things of past who's answer mocks the question
Waiting still as Jacks and Jills have taken all the feeling
Selling out we watch in doubt
But still go on believing
about
These songs, which are slowly trickling out (as Chris tries to re-master these from old cassettes), are a collection of original tunes written by State Of Mind. The recordings were done in Endre's basement on Scott's original Tascam 4-track which has seen better days. I believe they were recorded in 1990. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. Hope you enjoy these old classics and stay tuned for more to come. old and NEW!
