The Ghost of Cincinnati - Big Red Machine

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 across Covington Bridge

Get lost in my head, just looking at it

Now I’m looking at you

Through the hole in my sheet

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’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

I 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

I’d 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

I 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
