One Mississippi Lyrics by Tom McRae

King of Cards

0

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 crossed a bridge
To where heat of industry meets
Cool 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 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 is three Mississippi
Time stands still
It is 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?
Can I fix you in this moment?
See us both move in slow motion?
Is that sunrise or sunset, well who can say?
Yeah it's one Mississippi
It is two times grip is slipping
It is three Mississippi
Time stands still
Yeah it's one Mississippi
It is two times grip is slipping
It is three Mississippi
Time stands still
Yeah it's one Mississippi
It is two times grip is slipping
It is three Mississippi
Time stands still
