Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Took a bus straight to Baltimore
On the way he took a nap
Dropped off a note that said "I'm giving this note back"
PS- There's a lot going on underneath
There's roots there's pipes, there's drainage leaks
You're on, you're wrong, Ohio
Truly sorry, I see clearly
Calmly crashing, I pace faster than anyone
Hinges rusting, they swing louder than anything
Truly lonely this place is flatter than it seems
I'm upset and I leave the doors wide open
Our hearts are used up, cracked and dry
Pulled the scabs off of regrets
We haven't learned to read our conscience yet
Truly sorry, I see clearly
Hardy hoping, I spend it all on game machines
Calmly crashing, I pace and I figure out again
One hand clapping, awake but napping
Rows of lights to illuminate lines
Why don't they turn them off and let us see night
Drove crazed grooming my lies

Four dead in Ohio

Meet me in the evening, where the river is low
Meet me on the waters of the Ohio
No lines, no lines, the river is a river, not a line
My blood is the water and it's darker and deeper than time
If the hounds are howling, then you cannot hide
My friend, I will meet you on the other side
No lines, no lines, the river is a river, not a line
My love is the water and it's stronger and deeper than time
Meet me 'neath the moon, under the singing tree
If you are the first, stay there and wait for me
If no one comes by morning and the sun is a-rising red
If no one comes by morning, please forgive me, my friend
Oh, Ohio
Seems like
A dream to me now
Newspapers in an empty basket
I know
All will show
I wrote your name
Upon a paper bag
Brown today
Green tomorrow
And green doesn't matter
Yeah green doesn't matter
And I hear that the word is out
And a dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta do
And green doesn't matter
Yeah green doesn't matter
When you're blue
Busting my chops
Green fields into rocks
Beyond the fruited plain
Where there grows no fruit again
And I got your theme
Inside my head, 'side my head
Green doesn't matter
Green doesn't matter
Green doesn't matter much
Yeah green just doesn't matter much
Green doesn't matter

Four Dead in Ohio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Well the road
It overtook me
To the point
Where I was blind
My body was weak
But not as much
As my mind, oh my mind
I just can't get
Can't get my feel
Of those hills
Oh but still
No matter where I am
In this land
I feel alone, when I'm not at home
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
So if you
If you see me
Conquer down
In your town
I'm just watchin' the clock
On the wall
Till' I can go to the place I love most of all
Radiate
Or just wait to die
Break your back
And never, never wonder why
Get me home before I
Before I lose my mind
I need some space to let my
My tape rewind
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Ohio, hio
Out from my window across from the city
I have what's considered a good view
Two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain
Where I walk to break in the new shoes
She stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis
Like horses in parades in passing
I ask where she's headed she tells me
"Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ages"
"It's been a long time, a real long time
A real long time"
Out from my window how far is Ohio?
She laughed and pointed out east
She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen"
"You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired man
We moved to city so far from my family
I haven't been back there since"
"It's been a long time, a real long time
A real long time"
Out from my window please hear me Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you, to hug you to kiss you
To never leave her alone
And I've gotten to know her to live with to love her
It's hard to see her leave
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
I wish she belonged to me
See you sometime, see you sometime
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming Tin soldiers and Nixon coming we're finally on our own This summer I hear them druming Four dead in Ohio

Hello Ohio, the back roads
I know Ohio, like the back of my hand
Alone Ohio, where the river bends
And it's strange to see your story end
In my life I've seen a thousand dreams
Through the threshers all torn to pieces
And the land lay bare someone turned a profit there
And a good son lost his life in a strip pit
Hello Ohio, the back roads
I know Ohio, like the back of my hand
Alone Ohio, where the river bends
And it's strange to see your story end
When the sun went down we would all leave town
And light our fires in the Egypt Bottom
And the reservoir was just as good for Joni
'Cause we knew we would dream out loud in the night air
Holly said, "Don't go inside the children's home"
Mary said, "Don't leave your man alone"
Valerie was singin' to the radio, Ohio
It was summertime in '83
We were burnin' out at the rubber tree
Yeah, I'm wonderin' what in the world
Would make all this worthwhile
And if I knew then I was older then
Would I see regret to the last mile
Hello Ohio, the back roads
I know Ohio, like the back of my hand
Alone Ohio, where the river bends
And it's strange to see your story end
How I hate to see your story end
Out from my window, across from the city
I have what's considered a good view
Two blocks from the subway and three from the fountain
I walk just to break in the new shoes
She stands on the sidewalk, just waving at taxis
Like horses in parades in passing
I asked where she's headed
She told me, "Ohio, I've not seen my mama in ages
It's been a long time, a real long time"
It's been a long time, a real long time
Out from my window:
"How far is Ohio?"
She laughed and pointed out east
She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen
You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired men
We moved to a city so far from my family
I haven't been back there since
It's been a long time, a real long time"
It's been a long time, a real long time
Out from my window, please hear me, Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you
To hug you, to kiss you
Do never leave her alone
I've gotten to know her
To live with, to love her
It's hard to see her leave
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
I wish she belonged to me
It's been a long time, a real long time
I'll see you sometime
Yeah, see you some time
See you sometime

Well, I'm makin' my way up the coast
to see the one I love the most
It's a short day in September when I go
And I wonder if he's still the same
Like the way his mouth fits around my name
I guess there's only one sure way to know
So you can have your California,
New York's nice but I can't stay
Send my love to Carolina
but it's just too far away
I am headed for my love, I've gotta go
I am headed for my home in Ohio
I was tired of that same-old-same
So I chased down my fifteen of fame
And I kissed goodbye the boy that I called home
Then I changed in ways I can't express
I forgot that boy I love the best
Is keepin' from feeling so alone
So you can have your California,
New York's nice but I can't stay
Send my love to Carolina
but it's just too far away
I am headed for my love, I've gotta go
I am headed for my home in Ohio
So I pick up that rock and swipe it clean
Now I'm only sayin' what I mean
And I'm telling him I'm sorry for my loss
And the moment that I see his face
I'll know if this is still my place
Or if I've been away for far too long
So you can have your California,
New York's nice but I won't stay
Send my love to Carolina
but she's just too far away
I am headed for my love, I've gotta go
I am headed for my home in Ohio
I am headed for my love, I've gotta go
I'll call you Ohio
From a song I once heard sung
One I couldn't help but love
I'll call you Ohio
Cause it falls easy off the tongue
It falls easy as the road that you run
Hey there Ohio, your mother needs you now
But say you'll meet me in your spring
Hold on Ohio, another chance will come around
So come sit with me awhile
Before you leave
And you don't have to live this way anymore
No, they're telling you to stay
And you can't give them what you give anymore
And it's ok
It's ok
Hey there Ohio, come dance for me awhile
I know it's time for you to go
Don't stop Ohio, don't stop until you smile
And I'll watch you as you dance out the door
And you don't have to live this way anymore
No they're telling you to stay
And you can't give them what you give anymore
And it's ok
Even i know there is something between us
I'm trying to turn my head around
To be head to head with you in white shade
But i'm stuck
Even i know there is something between us
My edict says not yet allowed
Once and for all to step out
I'm laying through my tears
I want to get them all
I'm staring at the wall
In tops of higher trees
I don't need to hide my call
I'm facing that blue wall
I'm facing your blue ...
Even i know there is something between us
Every start has a different overall
But nevertheless continues the same way
But i'm stuck
Even i know there is something between us
The winner will take his half of all
Behind that fascinating wall
I feed you with my tears
You keep them soft and warm
I'm staring at the wall
In tops of higher trees
I don't need to hide my call
I'm facing that blue wall
(Diamond/Kirkpatrick)
You Can Make Your Point
Ican Disagree
But It Will Not Change
What You Mean To Me
Did It Go Too Far
Are We To The Edge
Is There Some Way I Can
Talk You Down From The Ledge
We Can Turn Away From Each Other
Or We Can Turn It Back Around
Maybe I'm Wrong
Maybe Your're Right
Baby Don't Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On
We Can Make Some Changes
We Can Make This Work
We Can Fix What's Broken
We Can Heal The Hurt
Take A New Direction
Now It's Up To Us
What We Do In Anger We Can Do In Love
'cause Anything That's Worth The Having
Is Worth Fighting For
Maybe I'm Wrong
Maybe Your're Right
Baby Don't Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On
Love To Lean On
On And On And On
Love To Keep Us Strong
Tell my uncle tell my aunts
I got my teeth in nice and straight
Chicken nuggets in my pants
I'm on my way to the buckgrass state!
O-hi-o-hi-o
Round on the end, high in the middle
O-hi-o-hi-o
O-hi-o-hi-o (O how hi I o)
Left my home in Timbucthree
With my banjo on my knee
Look at me I'm Sandra D
On your way to Ohio
O-hi-o-hi-o
Round on the end, high in the middle
Here's a riddle what's round on the end and high in the
middle?
Oh it's um...Switzerland?
No it's O-hi-o-hi-o! (Oh how hi I o)
Up in Cincinnati-a, there's a gal named Clareibell
If she knew I's on my way, I'm pretty sure she'd run
like....
HELLO Cleveland
Hello Toledo
Hello Columbus (Bonjourno Braka!)
Oh-hi-o-hi-o
Round on the end, hi in the middle
Here's a riddle what's round on the end and hi in the
middle?
Oh I know this, it's...
Mmmm...
Scrapheap haven, cast-off town
Where the cars pile high until they tumble down
All the dogs in the alley, the girls in the cut-price
gowns
Junkyard lady sleep (something)
On parade for the truckers on leave from their wives
Pay your money, she'll sing you a lullaby
And would she love you for a dollar more?
You know she seems to
Like all the ones before, all the ones before
A thin made-up(?) girl with rust-red hair
Sits on the bonnet with both knees bared at
The heart is an engine going nowhere
He says he loves her
And they are both alone
In the junkyard
Statues of scrap and bone, scrap and bone
Mmmm... scrap and bone
Don't you know that time eats metal and men are just
the same?
What survives are all the things we thought we had
thrown away
And would you think it strange
Spare parts for sale
Sign your name (your name)
You own me
(you)
You own me
(own)
You own me
(me)
Da-da dum
Da-da dum dum dum
She came here once as a child of ten
Crawled through the dust and Cadillac dents
Didn't know the use of a backseat then
He said he loved her
And she is all alone
In the junkyard
No place like home (no place like home)
No place like home (no place like home)
No place like home (no place like home)

Where are you?
I'm in Ohio
The city I'm in was yours as a kid
As far as I know, far as I know
You left a message for me
I kept it a year
I played it and waited
For you to reappear
So where are you?
I'm in Ohio
If I had my way I'd be gone today
But where would I go?
Where would I go?
I like a punk girl here
I like her dyed black hair
I like her thread bare t-shirt
I like her stained glass stare
But she's not you
You're not in Ohio
So why should I care if you wonder where
Where did I go?
Where did I go?
Nothing here is mine X2
November blood is on the hunting field
And I wish that I could know
How the hunted feel
I, I, I wanna go back to my mansion
Not the one in Cleavland, the one in the Hamptons
You can take the Lambo, We takin' the Phantom
My girl got some friends, she said she want me to grab em
Yeah, I keep that new Porsche prancin'
Where the hoes at, and why they not dancin'?
I had an asthma attack in that trailer
Down south where I was at and I had to wake up gaspin'
Matter of fact, I ain't wake up for a few days
IV's, had them mothafuckas in two veins
And momma ain't know what to do
Baby boy laid out on the couch not breathin'
Momma start screamin'
But when she dialed Nine-Eleven
She just heard the tone
Cause' we was in a small town called (Idea?)
Where people had to call on god for the heal
Meanwhile, here I am, half dead on the couch
Momma ran out, bangin' on everybody's house
But less than a minute later, momma was back
With T, he had a truck, tossed me off in the back
But if momma ain't wake up
Then I wouldn't have woke up
And Cleavland wouldn't have had a reason to have its hope up
Slip in the coma right back to my fantasy
Back to all the beautiful bitches attacking me
Sippin' them dacharies, couple of hoes fannin' me
And two bitches laid out butt naked up on the canopy
Back to them Lamborghinis and the Bugattis
And enough of that Benihana's bet I can do karate
And, back to my mansion like you promised me
I'mma see my grandma, and she proud me
Im on the streets of gold, you can't stop me
Please doctor, don't shock me
I dont wanna
Tin soldiers and
Bush is coming
We're finally on our own
This summer
I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it S
oldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago What if you know her
And found her dead on the ground
Miles away from here
Is a place dearest to our hearts
We built the strongest city around
With nothing but yourself
While others go to sleep to dream of something better
You do your best to make your biggest dreams come true
With voices ringing through living walls and windows you woke
You woke the whole town up
I fell in love with Ohio
I fell in love with Ohio
I fell in love with Ohio
Look what you have done
Look what you have done
The doors are wide open
You made a home for everyone
While others go to sleep to dream of something better
You do your best to make you biggest dreams come true
With voices ringing through living walls and windows you woke
You woke the whole town up
I fell in love with Ohio
I fell in love with Ohio
I fell in love with Ohio
While others sleep to dream
You’ll make your dreams come true
While others go to sleep to dream
