I'm caught in the state you've put me in

Then I walk out the door
take my steps firm and stark
see these japanese people exploring in the park
I ain't into pleasin', but all ask me please and please
and I know it's springseason
but I'm prone wheezing on my knees and ..

I'm caught in the state you've put me in
hard to shake, shake this off again

put on my timboots
put on my favourite coat
put on my timboots
put on my favourite coat

Then I walk out the door
wanna see something more
than the ghosts of the past
that my head keeps in store

Give a gesture, little laugh
ain't bashfull to the man
I'm all ears, no need to fear
'till his dog wets my pants and ..

I'm caught in the state you've put me in
hard to shake, shake this off again
I'm caught in the state you've put me in
hard to shake, shake this off again, my friend
