One Mississippi
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 a bridge to where Theh 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 catch your breath.' Well I'm thinking of you And I can hear your words When you said, 'flying away is for the birds SongtexteAnd 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 And can I fix you in this movie See us both 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
