Okkervil River - Lady Liberty lyrics

You can wash out your lying eyes In that bathroom down the hall I guess I shouldn't be surprised Guess I didn't know you at all But I can picture you inside some stranger's house Inside some stranger's bed You're trying to seem mysterious The covers pulled over your head It's all right, lady liberty It's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me You say you've been used, you've been betrayed Yeah, and that old bed's been newly made You just stick around awhile with me Until you're strong enough to leave 'Cause I can picture you the first time You decide to spend the night You wonder if you should give me a call And ask me if it's all right Yeah, it's all right, lady liberty It's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me Don't call me or send me any more letters, baby I just can't stand to see your hand writing things that you don't mean I waited, our faded love growing even more faded The shades were down, I faced the wall, and I could hear you breathing I tried to bring us back to life I gave my heart so many times And was it worth it after all? There is a bathroom down the hall There's a bathroom down the hall There's a bathroom down the hall And I guess I didn't know you at all I guess I didn't know you at all Lady liberty, liberty, liberty Maybe it's time to leave
