Barenaked Ladies - Four Seconds lyrics

Goes to show not what you know
But who you know, so's, you know
I can go, flow, build the row,
Then throw to snow
'Fore 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

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 four 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

Wore it like a makeshift snowdrift
Had to get a gift, saw the red shift rift
Gretta got an eye lift, oh sure, that one's obscure
Maybe piss poor, but I had to take a little detour

I've been away four 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
