A Summer In Ohio

Song A Summer In Ohio
Artist Anna Kendrick
Album The Last Five Years (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Lyrics

[00:18.37] I could have a mansion on the hill
[00:21.92] I could lease a villa in Seville
[00:25.17] But it wouldn´t be as nice as a summer in Ohio
[00:29.30] With a gay midget named Karl playing Tevye and Porgy
[00:40.17] I could wander Paris after dark
[00:43.58] Take a carriage ride through Central Park
[00:46.78] But it wouldn´t be as nice as a summer in Ohio
[00:50.63] Where I´m sharing a room with a former stripper and her snake Wayne
[00:57.94] I could have a satchel full of dollar bills
[01:03.25] Cures for all the nations ills
[01:06.64] Pills to make a lion purr
[01:12.07] I could be in line to be the British queen
[01:17.35] Look like I was seventeen
[01:20.79] Still I´m certain I´d prefer to be going slowly batty
[01:26.36] Forty miles east of Cincinnati
[01:32.20] I could shove an ice pick in my eye
[01:35.43] I could eat some fish from last July
[01:38.68] But it wouldn´t be as awful as a summer in Ohio
[01:42.40] Without cable hot water Vietnamese food or you
[01:51.90] I saw your book at a Border´s in Kentucky
[01:55.34] Under a sign that said New and Recommended
[01:59.16] I stole a look at your picture on the inside sleeve
[02:02.43] And then I couldn´t leave
[02:07.71] Richard who was with me got uncharacteristically quiet
[02:12.98] And he said All things considered
[02:14.34] I guess you don´t have to buy it
[02:16.43] So I smile like Mona Lisa and I lay my Visa down
[02:23.32] He wants me he wants me but he ain´t gonna get me
[02:30.32] I´ve found my guiding light I tell the stars each night
[02:37.28] Look at me look at him
[02:41.43] Son of a bitch I guess I´m doing something right
[02:48.53] I finally got something right
[02:57.80] No it´s not Nirvana but it´s on the way
[03:02.28] I play Anita at the matinee
[03:05.89] Then I´ll get on my knees and pray I can state in my next bio
[03:11.94] I´m never gonna go back to Ohio
[03:16.67] I could chew on tin foil for a spell
[03:20.69] I could get a root canal in hell
[03:24.78] But it wouldn´t be as swell as this summer is gonna be
[03:31.99] ´Cause the torture is just exquisite
[03:35.52] While I´m waiting for you to visit
[03:39.24] So hurry up schmuck get unstuck and get on the scene
[03:46.45] Love
[03:47.12] The midget the stripper Wayne the snake and Mrs. Jamie Wellerstein
[03:54.72] That´s me
[04:02.17]
