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
