Bethesda
(Levine/Mendelson/Tucker)

When Bethesda wakes up in the morning
All the guilt melts away in the sun
Jealous lovers forget what they started
Lonely women forget what they’ve done

William still overseas for the White House
Lisa wonders how long she can stay
Katie’s swimming some laps in the moonlight
All in all it’s an average day

In the chaos there’s a calm unbroken silence
Strangers passing in the crowd
A quiet blindness
And they find their way home

In the offices people are dying
When they no longer care how they live
Marking time as they go through the motions
All receiving much more than they give

Many ways to construct many buildings
This foundation may soon wash away
Come together let’s start this thing over
All in all it’s no average day

In the structure there’s a calm unbroken silence
Strangers passing in the crowd
A quiet blindness
And they find their way home
