Mississippi King Lyrics
Verse 1:
Float into the flame like a river boat gypsy
Gather 'round the river cause I'm gonna set you all free
Do what I'll say and you'll have all the power
Make the suckers dance and charge 'em by the hour
Chorus:
Stoppin the clocks when you do that thing
Now you're gonna shake for the mississippi king
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Verse 2:
You were the queen of a second horse town
All of his buddies can't be rodeo clowns
Line 'em with sugar till the river runs bone dry
Servin' up the fantasies, unlimited supply
Chorus
Stoppin the clocks when you do that thing
Now you're gonna shake for the mississippi king
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Verse 3:
I know you've been bruised by losers lovers liars
Set the tables long baby labor lives no longer
Spend all your life and you'll wish it were flowers
Your camera's full of petals can't back up those hours
Chorus
Stoppin the clocks when you do that thing
Now you're gonna shake for the mississippi king
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send
Now you're gonna send for your medicine
