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 times 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 it's 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 times grip is slipping
It's three Mississippi
time stands still
And it's four Mississippi
can we stop this clock from ticking
it is five Mississippi
time stands still
And can we spin the world on it's 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
And it's one Mississippi
it is two times grip is slipping
It's three Mississippi
time stands still
