Lyrics
Cincinnati
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been to your town
Ain't nobody around
I've been to your city
Ain't no city like Cinicinnati
The first time I've been there
In the rollin heat
I saw black love spent
and angel wings
I saw white dust choke
and kill and end the violence
And I know I'm running the American Dream
Red, White, and Blue blood
Run at the seams
Bitter sweet liberty
Don't mean shit to me
Hey I've been to your town
Ain't nobody around
Hey baby I've been
To your city
Ain't no city like Cincinnati
Hey I run along to Mexico
Some water is cold up the coast
You know I bleed the sun
The ressurection
I run along to Ohio
Drive past the grave
of an old romance
Never felt more alive than
Suicide Cincinnati
And I've been to your town
Ain't nobody around
Hey baby I've been
To your city
Ain't no city like Cincinnati
Here we are...
In utopia
