Right Place, Wrong Time

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion


I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time 
I was sayin' the right things, but I must have used the wrong line 
I was on the right trip, but I must have used the wrong car 
Head is in a bad place and I wonder what it's good for 
I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time 
My head is in a bad place, but I'm havin' such a good time 

I've been runnin', tryin' to get hung up in my mind 
Really got to give myself a good talkin' to this time 
Just need a little brain salad surgery 
I got to cure my insecurity 

And I was in the wrong place, but it must have been the right time 
I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong song 
I was in the right thing, but it seemed like a wrong wrong 
'Cause I was in the right world, 
but it seemed like a wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong 

Slippin', dodgin', sneakin', peepin', hidin' out down the street 
See my life shakin' with every who I meet 
Refried confusion is a-makin' itself clear 
Wonder where to, where do I go to get on outta here 

'Cause I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time 
And I was sayin' the right thing, but I must have used the wrong line 
I took the right road but I must have took a wrong turn 
I took a right move but I made it at the wrong time 
I was in the right trip but I made it in the wrong car 
My head is in a good place and I wonder what it's there for 
'Cause my skull is in a bad place
