Lyrics Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse

Ohio

Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio

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 and there's drainage leaks

You're on, you're wrong

Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, 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 door open wide

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

Hardly hoping, I spend it all on game machines

Calmly crashing, I pace and I figure it 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

You can't look in on one way eyes

Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio

Ohio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio

Ohio, Ohio
