Lyrics

Woke up in a panic
Like somebody fired a gun
I wish I could be dreaming
But the nightmare's just begun
There's flooding in the basement
There's water all around
There's woodworm in the attic
And the ceiling just fell down
I'm in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh)
I'm in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh)

All the dirty dishes
Are still in the kitchen sink
The tumble dryer's broken
Now the telly's on the blink
My girlfriend's packed her bags
And moved out to another town
She couldn't stand the boredom
When the video broke down
Don't know why I feel so bad
Is it the weather, or am I going mad?
Don't know why I feel this way
I don't know whether I'm coming or I'm going
Can't cover up 'cause it's obviously showing
It's a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh)
We're in a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh)
I don't know whether I'm coming or I'm going

Should feel happy, should feel glad
I'm alive and it can't be bad
But back on planet earth they shatter the illusion
The world's going 'round in a state of confusion

Standing on an island
In the middle of the road
Traffic either side of me
Which way will I go?
I should've stayed at home
I should have never come outside
Now I wish I never tried
To cross the other side
I'm in a state (state)
State of confusion (whooooh)
It's a state (state)
Of confusion (whooooh)

Lyin' awake in a cold, cold sweat
Am I overdrawn, am I going in debt?
It gets worse, the older that you get
No escape from the state of confusion I'm in
State of confusion I'm in
Whooooh
