Lyrics
You went away one day at noon
I heard you say that you'd be back soon
Since that time it's been one typhoon
What a mess, is the shape, of the state I'm in
What a mess, is the shape, of the state I'm in
What a mess I'm in
I saw you walking in some platform shoes
I said, what's the deal with me and you
You looked at me said it's in review
What a mess, is the shape, of the state I'm in,
What a mess, is the shape, of the state I'm in
What a mess I'm in
What a mess, is the shape, of the state I'm in,
What a mess I'm in
I saw Johnny with the tribal tatoo
I said had he seen any sign of you
He looked at me said he'd been with you
What a mess, is the shape, of the state I'm in
What a mess, is the shape, of the state I'm in
What a mess I'm in
It's just this place I'm in
You know the state I'm in
What a mess I'm in
It's just this place I'm in
You know the state I'm in
