We're over now, self-evident and true Verse 2 All around, all these monuments remind us Of brave heroes and amazing feats from yesteryear And we thought all those times we shared would bind us But instead, our great union found its end right here Chorus I want to remember Jefferson Like marble sparkling in the basin Saw Grandma's name at World War II What happened sucks, what can we do? But we're over now, self-evident and true Bridge Tranquil pursuits of science and the starry night Surrounded by the echoes, my supreme delight Let’s stop the story here Let’s stop the memories here And someday the rest will disappear We’ll stop the story here Stop the story here Stop the story here Verse 3 Finally looked when we got on the freeway There’s nothing special 'bout these office buildings, anyway As we take exit 10B on the Beltway I hope selective memory is all that’s left, someday Chorus I want to remember Jefferson Like marble sparkling in the basin Below the decorated frieze A complicated legacy We’re over now, self-evident and true *** Want to stream or download "Jefferson"?
