Toledo

Over the Rhine · The Cutting Room Floor [2002]

as the salt on your skin

heals the wounds

rub it in, rub it in

'til I see tumbleweeds

blowing through my head like toledo, ohio

are we blessed

are we cursed

are we messed-up or worse

either or neither nor

we're tumbleweeds

what are we mumbling for?

what are we tumbling toward?



take me - one way or another



are we dead or alive

drivin' I-75

hard to say either way

tumbleweeds blowing through my head like toledo, ohio

pretty eyes pretty lips

pretty thighs pretty hips

pretty hip - we will feed tumbleweeds

what are we waiting for?



take me - one way or another



when you have no destination in your head

any road will take you there

I don't care where

(it's not about arriving)

does it even matter one way or another

rust is just a slow form of fire

in my tail lights



take me - one way or another
