One Mississippi

	Got no gloves and
	I don’t wear a hat
	And these streets are cold
	And I forgot the reasons
	I cameWalk a mile and
	I cross the bridge
	To where heat of industry
	Meets cold river air
	And I wonder if
	I willSurvive 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…
