X-patriate - Pennsylvania Avenue lyrics

Silly little girl makes a video Tilts her head so cute and tired As the steam rises from the grates And outside the Big House The reporters scatter round Like packs of nervous birds Behind the steely gates And let the steam rise up And let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue Let the steam rise up And let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue The young debark at Union Station New suits and bright eyes And a gleam to aspire And/or to acquire And the elders on the street Watch the town cars in their fleet Pa** to use the last of them 'Fore they expire And let the steam rise up And let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue Let the steam rise up And let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue Chipped paint on historic slum A drum beat So short so sweet The hunger for a dance that will feel new But the trend that brings them here Is to be a part of History Which means all will be the same When they are through But let the steam rise up Let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue Let the steam rise up Let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue Lighting flash above the dome It lights the homes upon the Hill Just for a moment a stop A shock a sign And for that moment all are still As they hesitate to find the will To rise above the guise of love While there is time And let the steam rise up Let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue Let the steam rise up And let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue Silly little girl makes a video I watch it from my bed As the light streams in Between the monument and the grey As the vendors, tenders Menders, benders Spenders and amenders All rise to seek the hope within a brand new day And let the steam rise up Let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue Let the steam rise up And let the people wise up As I drive down Pennsylvania Avenue As I ride down Pennsylvania Avenue As I rise up Pennsylvania Avenue
