Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, what condition my condition was in
[Verse 2]
I woke up this morning with the sundown shining in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag, but then
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, what condition my condition was in
[Verse 4]
I pushed my soul in a deep, dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawling out as I was a-crawling in
I got up so tight, I couldn't unwind
I saw so much, I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
[Verse 5]
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, what condition my condition was in
[Verse 6]
Someone painted "April Fool" in big, black letters on a dead-end sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
[Verse 7]
I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
