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 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 timе For the millionth time I'm overspеnt 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 North Side I pace the hedge row Dodge the low blows Play the Fountain Square And wonder where my cousins go I haunt the North Side 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

It's leavin' time again I'm headed out with all my friends It's a roll of the dice I've never thought twice About the way I've been spending my time Trying my guts out for every dime Working in an office building tall Don't know who's next to you at all But being out here The blood, the guts, the beer Is a test Only time will tell It brings you close, man Closer than hell We're leaving, leaving again Can't recall where all we've been I guess we'll just go Go 'til we're too old Or we run out of road The other day I talked to Lou He quit back in '92 Says he misses it bad Those were the, the best times he ever had He said, "Give it hell 'til the end 'Cause once you quit You can't get it back again" We're leaving, leaving again Can't recall where all we've been I guess we'll just go Go 'til we're too old Or we run out of road Expensive cabs and shitty food Washed down with cancelled flights Oh, this week of those missed holidays You miss your boy and wife Oh, the late night drive that calls Dawn to strike you like a knife Hey man, this is a beautiful life We're leaving again, leaving again Oh, we're leaving again Can't recall where all we've been I guess we'll just go I guess we'll just go Oh, I guess we'll just go 'Til we're too old Or we run out of road Oh, yeah Oh, oh, out of road Oh, yeah, oh We're leave, leaving again Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 'Til we run out of road Run out of road Run out of road Oh, yeah Until we run out, oh, oh, oh, oh no no no Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du

When all the world is a hopeless jumble And the raindrops tumble all around Heaven opens a magic lane When all the cloud darken up the skyway There's a rainbow highway to be found Leading from your windowpane To a place behind the sun Just a step beyond the rain Somewhere over rainbow way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby And somewhere over rainbow blue birds fly Oh, if birds can fly over rainbow Why, then why can't I? Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me And troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me Somewhere over rainbow bluebirds fly If birds can fly over the rainbow Why, then why can't I? Someday I'll wake and rub my eyes And in that land beyond the skies you'll find me I'll be a laughing daffodil And leave the silly cares that fill my mind behind me Somewhere over rainbow bluebirds fly If birds can fly over the rainbow Why, then why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I?
