Altered State Lyrics by Helen Schneider

Breakout

0

[Verse 1]
I remember when I was always livin' in a dream
Life was always innocent and warm
What could harm a child of the moon?
[Verse 2]
There were boys who played guitar
Wonderin' what we were and who we are
Open-minded days that floated by
Flower children staring at the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Filled with memories
Changed by tragedies, prosperities
[Chorus]
My altered state
All give and take, no simple world
My altered state
[Verse 3]
Runnin' from the man
While we ate his welfare cake and Spam
People died and I cried
The life we knew was gonna end
And we would start again
[Verse 4]
You know, I was just a girl
Now I am a teller of the tale
Memories from my ever-changing world
Makes me thing there'll be stories again
[Pre-Chorus]
Mirrored in my hall
Stands the woman and the girl
[Chorus]
My altered state
All give and take, no simple world
My altered state
My altered state
All give and take, no simple world
My altered state
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
My altered state
All give and take, no simple world
My altered state
My altered state
All give and take, no simple world
My altered state
