YOU PUT THE SIN IN CINCINNATI
BY MIRA WILDER

A Thousand Bucks and
You left LA in my 97' Cougar.
Making amends,
to your folks
in Sarasota...
You said you'd be driving
on the I-10...
but you be doing blow,
up in the mountains ...
You were dressed like wall street
shined them shoes
lit another alibi
smoked an excuse...

Cryin' crocodile tears
crocodile tears...

Then you crashed the car,
High...
going 90!
broke every bone
but you're still lookin fine...
made it outta Colorado,
in the nick of time.
Kept two women
danglin on a cellular line...

one in California
one in Oregon...

Cryin'
crocodile tears
crocodile tears

You put the sin in Cincinnati,
Daddy-

I hear you're living
in a Brownstone basement,
just below the cement...
Bottles of tequila
by your side...
laid up....
no life....
burning bridges
then you hide...

You got another fool to pay your bills,
keep you
in cigarettes,
an out of jail...
you put the sin in Cincinnati
Daddy....

chorus:
blue chip city
nasty natty
gonna find you
dead, drunk
 in an alley
don't care
about nothin
short of a kill.....
do anything
for another refill....
you put the sin in Cincinnati Daddy...

crocodile tears...crocodile tears

Now, you're over the hill,
partying hard,
crashing on couches
or some-body's yard...
spinning stories
about the 80's....
How you were the shit!
king of the city!

You put the sin in Cincinnati, daddy.....

crying crocodile tears...
never your fault
pissin yourself
on the cold ass fault...

you put the sin in Cincinnati.... Daddy

crying crocodile tears....
booo hoooo hoooo
crocodile tears
you put the sin in Cincinnati
Daddy....
Crying Crocodile tears

chorus:
blue chip city
nasty natty
gonna find you
dead..... drunk in an alley....
don't care about nothing
short of a kill.....
you'd do anything
for another  refill....

Crying crocodile tears
boo hoo hoo
crocodile tears...
you put the sin in Cincinnati daddy....
blue chip city
nasty natty
gonna find you dead, drunk in an alley
you put the sin in Cincinnati,
daddy-
