Big Red Machine - The Ghost of Cincinnati Lyrics
Official




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
