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
