One Mississippi Lyrics

One Mississippi lyrics

Got no gloves and I don’t wear a hat

And these streets are cold

And
I forgot the reasons I came



Walk a mile and I cross the bridge

To where heat of industry

Meets cold river air

And I wonder if I
will

Survive the wave

That’ll drown this place



It’s a
clockwork planet

And I’ve broken every key

Trying to keep the time
from twisting out of reach

And it’s one Mississippi

It is two
time’s grip is slipping

It’s three Mississippi

Time stands
still



Got no home and I made no plans and this

City holds me
in the palm of its hand and it sings

This is where you will catch your
breath

Well I’m thinking of you

And I can hear your words

When you said flying away is for the birds

And by the way genius you
ain’t walking south

It’s a clockwork planet

And I’ve broken every
key

Trying to keep the time from twisting out of reach

And it’s one
Mississippi

It is two time’s grip is slipping

It’s three
Mississippi

Time stands still

And it’s four Mississippi

Can
we stop the clocks from ticking

It is five Mississippi

Time stands
still



And can we spin the world on its axis

Can we make the
clocks run backwards

Can I only change your history for a day

And
can I fix you in this moment

See us both move in slow motion

Is
that sunrise or sunset who can say



It’s one Mississippi

It
is two time’s grip is slipping

It is three Mississippi

Time stands
still…
