Levitate the Pentagon
Burn the witches from your eyes
You said
You swore you saw it rise
Levitate the Pentagon
Let the losers tell their side
You said
You swore you saw it rise
Pain's a secret no one keeps
You're the lie that I believe
Hanging out outside church basements
Waiting for meetings to end
Half our friends are in recovery
Half our friends are dead
Well, smoking won't get you sober
And the drugs no longer work
We've got coke, but no keys, no car, no home
Levitate the Pentagon
Burn the witches from your eyes
You said
You swore you saw it rise
Levitate the Pentagon
Let the losers tell their side
You said
You swore you saw it rise
Now you're in a strip club in DC at 3 in the afternoon
Trying to convince some sad refugee you're different
But like a self-help book at the STD clinic, that ship has sailed that ship sailed
All the ships have sailed. You've always had a Clintonian grasp of truth and beauty
You were born to die in a better world than this one
Your tombstone will read, “I tried, I failed; only God and everyone else can and should
Judge me.”
Levitate the Pentagon
Burn the witches from your eyes
You said
You swore you saw it rise
Levitate the Pentagon
Let the losers tell their side
You said
You swore you saw it rise
