Lady Liberty by Okkervil River
You can wash out your lying eyes
In that bathroom down the hall
I guess I shouldn't be surprised
I 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
