Generic State Of Mind Lyrics

Take me on a journey through the caverns

Of the deepest darkest places of your mind

Explain to me the damp and hollow whisper of the midnight

That helps you to keep from going blind

Then toss me in a vat of boiling herbs and spicy fantasies that wind

Us into what we might achieve if we leave the sane and proper world behind

You see I'm tired of living life outside the edges baby

Trapped in this generic state of mind

Save me just a smile for Sunday morning

When the sun is up and children are asleep

When the eve of all the devils has burned away to grayish ashes

And a light electric moment starts to creep

And touch me in the white familiar places

Where another touch lit fiery thoughts so blind

Then tell me all about the drifting memories and photographs

That never quite got signed

You see I'm tired of waking up without your kisses baby

Trapped in this generic state of mind

I'll fill your heart with poetry and music

And your eyes with visions framed in paradise

I'll wet your lips with sweet imaginary syrups of temptation

And melt a soul that once was made of ice

And when the day has turned away

To another restless windswept November night

You know you'll never have to shake me and remind me

That until the holy night that I first met you baby

I was trapped in this generic state of mind

Take me on a journey through the caverns

Of the deepest darkest places of your mind

Explain to me the damp and hollow whisper of the midnight

That helps you to keep from going blind

Then toss me in a vat of boiling herbs and spicy fantasies that wind

Us into what we might achieve if we leave the sane and proper world behind

You see I'm tired of living life outside the edges baby

I'm tired of waking up without your kisses maybe

Until the holy night that I met you I was

Trapped in this generic state of mind

Trapped in this generic state of mind
