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