The Ghost of Cincinnati

There the bell tolls noon on 12th and Vine And I still need this overtime 'Cause I'm over myself, I'm over the hill, I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time, for the millionth time I park at this spot and stare at the water Try to remember I'm somebody's father Dawn commute 'cross Covington Bridge Get lost in my head, just lookin' at it Now I'm lookin' at you through the hole in my sheet And I still need this overtime 'Cause I'm over myself, over the hill, I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time, for the millionth time I'm overspent, overworked, overlooked I'm Over-the-Rhine for the millionth time Cut through Ault Park 'cause it's safe now I stalk the streets in my nightgown The Ghost of Cincinnati slinks past I smell your coffee, can you taste that? My lip on your cup won't even feel real I'm rushing there, all the way there 'Cause I'm over myself, over the hill, I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time, for the millionth time I'm overspent, overworked, overlooked I'm Over-the-Rhine for the millionth time Feel over my head, over the hill, I'm over myself I'm Over-the-Rhine for the millionth time Stalk the spring grove, rot in my old clothes Pardon Pete Rose and wonder why the evil grows Now I'm in the big time, not a suicide Stalk the streets and haunt you from the northside I pace the hedge row, dodge the low blows Play the Fountain Square and wonder where my cousins go Haunt the northside, stop the traffic lights Cycle up Price Hill and stare up at the Pepsi sign I'm overextended, I'm over it all I'm Over-the-Rhine for the millionth time I'm overextended, I'm over it all I'm Over-the-Rhine for the millionth time For the millionth time --- The Ghost of Cincinnati - Big Red Machine
