Four Seconds

Goes to show It's not what you know (But) who you know So's, you know I can go with the flow Build my note Then throw to snow Before the show Stay low Play it on a Dobro Oh, I tiptoe to and fro From Ontario My stereo's blue like the rodeo Growing like a freak show free throw It's just the intro Keep dropping like dominoes One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Now rewind What'd you have in mind? Could we unwind? I'm fine We can find a streamline Recombine, intertwine If I'm gonna headline Tryin' to be moving all the behinds Line to line Try to shine Redesigned, redefined Keeping up the spellbind Gotta make it worth the grind Just in time to have another close encounter of the third kind One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four I've been away for years and a day You'd be thinking I'd be lonely But I'm out here to stay Wouldn't have it any other way Oh flip, the light is turning orange Coat ripped when I caught it in the door hinge I slip when the lady in the four-inch Bought it in a store in Germany You wore it like a makeshift snowdrift Had to get a gift Saw the red shift rift Gretta got an eyelift Oh sure, that one's obscure Maybe piss-poor, but I had to take a little detour I've been away for years and a day You'd be thinking I'd be lonely But I'm out here to stay Wouldn't have it any other way One Mississippi Two Mississippi Three Mississippi Four --- Four Seconds - Barenaked Ladies
