Tom McRae - One MississippiLyrics

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?
