Over The Rhine

Over The Rhine - Nobody Number One lyrics

rate me

Nobody Number One

words: Detweiler

music: Bergquist/Detweiler

recording: OHIO

I'm afraid I've lost the piece of me

I need the most you see

This puzzle is really just about the need

To be somebody

I'm afraid I'm not all that you see

All along the coast of me

I'm camouflaged, a desert mirage

A nobody

But you came so close and I assumed

You were looking

For the piece of yourself that's lost

It is the hiding place inside everybody

And though we love to numb the pain

We come to learn that it's in vain

Pain is our mother

She makes us recognize each other

C'mon now child don't cry

C'mon now child don't cry

Let's give it one more try

C'mon now child don't cry

Sometimes I feel so all alone

Here in this city I call my home

They say, Hey, you're one of us

Funny, I should feel so anonymous

But I'm drawn to you

And that still small voice is talking too

And that's the voice that so seldom can get through

You can't put no bandaid on this cancer

Like a twenty-dollar bill

For a topless dancer

You need questions

Forget about the answers

Do you really wanna die this way

That's the trouble with you and me

We always hit the bottom 'fore we get set free

I'm so far down

I'm beginning to breathe

C'mon now child don't cry

C'mon now child don't cry

Let's give it one more try

C'mon now child don't cry

Cuz we're just too young to die
