Paula Cole - Mississippi lyrics

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 back

Red to white

I'm pure inside and silent

Chorus:

I'm alive

Gotta 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

Chorus

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
