Got no gloves and I don't wear a hat
and these streets are calling
I forgot the reasons I came

Walk a mile and I cross the bridge to where
the heat of inner stream 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 is 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

It's one Mississippi
it is two times grip is slipping
it is three Mississippi
time stands still

And it's four Mississippi
can we stop the clocks from ticking?
it is five Mississippi
time stands still

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 movie
see us both move in slow motion
is that sunrise or sunset?
well who can say

yeah and it's one Mississippi
it is two times grip is slipping
it is three Mississippi
time stands still

Yeah and it's one Mississippi
It is two times grip is slipping
It is three mississippi
Time stands still
