January came and took my heart away February felt the same March, my heart's became molten April, my heart's like porridge on the boil Morning, May, I'm dampened from your shampoo Itchy knees and board of gold, and I achy at you June, I learned to count to ten in Japanese Dry July, like wiping skin from my skull Mr. Diapers and family, they told me I'm special Augustus came and stabilized me with my father's pain Relieving drug die as a pan, life floats away October, I swam back for my birthday My work display in the cafeteria of my old school Happy are my cold eyes, sleep in my cold deep bed December, you sang at my funeral If it's steps to your rivers, I've picked one for you All greedy with less is but equal by eyes If it's stones for your pockets, I've collected a few To hold you down, to hold you down Mississippi, come back to me Oh, Mississippi, your cold black sleep Oh, Mississippi Oh, Mississippi Oh, Mississippi Oh, Mississippi Oh, Mississippi Mississippi, come back to me Oh, Mississippi, your cold black sleep Oh, Mississippi Oh, Mississippi
