There's a cigar box full o' usual toys And the dragon fly was dead Locked up inside the usual noise That happens in my head She sewed my clothes with a wrinkled nose I was glad to have a drink Some swedish lies and the price was right In the mississippi heat Chorus Mississippi heat's alive and well Smilin' up the alley all black and white With a sign for a sally And a righteous fare thee well She was clingin' to me i was singin' to her Suffocation made the play I was strung out cold lookin' out the door In the mississippi heat So i split the scene back east to dream In another state affair Stealin' sleep inside a bottle From the mississippi heat Chorus You can change your clothes maybe change your mind Even buy a point o' view But the same ol joe wakes up in the mornin' With the blues inside o' you Chorus Chorus
