MISSISSIPPI

I know...
I'm big and proud all over
Not just...
On the stage

My secret self has many sides that laugh and crush and sting

I'm red and thick like fire
I like it...
From behind
Round to red and red to white
I'm pure and sad and silent

I... I-I-I-I've
Got a piece of my... heart!
On the sole of your shoe!
I've got a little bit of thunder!
Trapped inside of a cloud!

The dog...
In...
You
Spit me... out into
The mississippi!

I know...
Who can love my many selves
The wife...
The bitch...
The rapunzel?
The one who cries, and calls for you...
The one...
Who is always...
Alone?

I... I-I-I-I've
Got a piece of my... heart!
On the sole of your shoe!
I've got a little bit of thunder!
Trapped inside of a cloud!

The dog...
In...
You
Spit me... out into
The mississippi!

Oh! Mississippi!
Come and wash my pain...
Away!
Oh!
Mississippi!
Come and take my pain...
Away!

I feel I'm drowning!
I feel I'm drowning!
I feel I'm...
I feel I'm...
Dying!

I've...
Got a piece of my... heart!
On the sole of your shoe!
I've got a little bit of thunder!
Trapped inside of a cloud!

I've
Got a piece of my... heart!
On the sole of your shoe!
I've got a little bit of thunder!
Trapped inside of a cloud!

I've
Got a piece of my... heart!
On the sole of your shoe!
I've got a little bit of thunder!
Trapped inside of a cloud!

The dog...
In...
You
Spit me... out into the Mississippi!
