I'm headed west up Superior Avenue
Trying to find a place to rest
Maybe if I walk up Ninth Street
I could sleep by the stadium
Found two bucks on the steps of the courthouse
Used 'em up on a cigarette
Asked a stranger out there in the crosswalk
If I could maybe catch a light
Oh Cleveland oh Cleveland
I hate your daughters
I hate their sisters
And I hate the way that I keep coming back
I saw your face and I heard your voice call
Everywhere I looked around
So just like Job I'm bound for torture
With you as executioner
All these roads and back way alleys
Remind me of our New Orleans
If I could find that flight of steps
You know I'd die in Ohio
Read somewhere in the back of a Bible
God's been known to punish man
Well if that's true than I surrender
Kill me now or watch me fall
He better kill me now or watch me fall
