About Right Place Wrong Time

The Right Place, Wrong Time Songfacts says: Lyrically, "Right Place, Wrong Time" is standard blues fare, documenting in ironic one-liners the singer's propensity for misfortune. In the tune's weirder moments, Rebennack fuses this blues-based sense of the absurd with a psychedelic sensibility in line with the late '60s mood that saw Dr. John's emergence. He calls, for instance, for a little "brain salad surgery" to fix his ailing mind, articulated here as "refried confusion." .

Right Place Wrong Time Lyrics

[00:12.77] I been in the right place
[00:31.08] But it must have been the wrong time
[00:33.64] I'd have said the right thing
[00:35.63] But must have used the wrong line
[00:38.28] I been on the right trip
[00:40.36] But I must have used the wrong car
[00:42.52] Head is in a bad place and I wonder what it's good for
[00:47.07] I been in the right place
[00:49.42] But it must have been the wrong time
[00:51.86] My head is in a bad place
[00:53.80] But I'm having such a good time
[00:56.47] I've been running trying to get hung up in my mind
[01:01.23] Really got to give myself a good talking to this time
[01:06.37] Just need a little brain salad surgery
[01:10.97] I got to que my insecurity
[01:14.91] But I've been in the wrong place
[01:16.59] But it must have been the right time
[01:19.03] I been in the right place
[01:21.02] But it must have been the wrong song
[01:23.57] I been in the right vein
[01:25.72] But it seems like a wrong arm
[01:28.43] I been in the right world
[01:30.34] But it seems like wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
[01:57.23] Slipping, dodging, sneaking, creeping, hiding out down the street
[02:09.99] See my life shaking with every who I meet
[02:14.79] Refried confusion is making itself clear
[02:19.69] Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here
[02:23.56] But I been in the right place
[02:25.16] But it must have been the wrong time
[02:27.64] I'd have said the right thing
[02:29.65] But I must have used the wrong line
[02:32.14] I took the right road
[02:34.32] But I must have took a wrong turn
[02:36.87] I took a right move
[02:38.88] But I made it at the wrong time
[02:41.30] I was in the right trip
[02:43.45] But I made it in the wrong car
[02:45.70] Head is in a good place, and I wonder what it's bad for
[02:50.07]
