I'm not greedy.

It would really...

Tie the room together.

Darkness washed over The Dude.

Darker thana black steer's took us

On a moonless prairie night.

There was no bottom.

# What condition my condition was in #

# I woke up this morningwith the sun down #

# Shinin' in him #

# I found my mindin a brown paper bag #

# But then #

# I tripped on a cloudand fell 8 miles high #

# I tore my mindon a jagged sky #

# I just dropped in #

# To see what conditionmy condition was in #

# Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah #

# What conditionmy condition was in #

# I pushed my soulin a deep dark hole #

# And thenI followed it in #

# I watched myselfcrawlin' out #

# As I was crawlin' 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 conditionmy condition was in #

# Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah #

# What conditionmy condition was in #

# Someonepainted echoes on #

# In big black letters #

# On the dead inside #

# I kept my footon the gas #

# As I left the road #

# Blew out my mind #

# 8 miles out of Memphis,and I got no spare #

# 8 miles straightened updowntown somewhere #

# I just dropped in #

# To see what conditionmy condition was in #

# I said,I just dropped in #

# To see what conditionmy condition was in #
