The C Street Center is a three story brick townhouse in Washington, D.C. operated by The Fellowship. It is the former convent for nearby St. Peter's Church. It is located at 133 C Street, SE, behind the Madison Annex of the Library of Congress and a short distance from the United States Capitol, Republican National Committee, Democratic National Committee and House of Representatives Office Buildings. The structure has 12 bedrooms, nine bathrooms, five living rooms, four dining rooms, three offices, a kitchen, and a small chapel.
The facility houses mostly Republican members of Congress. Prior to its current use, the building housed the offices of Ralph Nader's Congress Watch, Critical Mass Energy Project, and the Tax Project.
The Reverend Louis P. Sheldon had told the Los Angeles Times in 2002 that the Fellowship opened the C Street house to members of Congress because "it helps them out. A lot of men don't have an extra $1,500 to rent an apartment. So the Fellowship house does that for those who are part of the Fellowship." (In 2002, the LA Times reported that rent was $600 per month for each resident and meals cost extra, but cleaning is provided by eight college-age volunteers from the Fellowship and a "house mother" who washes the congressmen's sheets and towels.) Doug Coe, leader of the Fellowship, also told the LA Times that "I give or loan money to hundreds of people, or have my friends do so," including to members of Congress but he did not recall the details.
Would have done more than anything
Back then to make you smile
To the end of the earth and back
To protect all that we had
Now it's done and I'm gone
But you're back here in my face
So why you wanna go kickstart the drama?
Now don't you know you can't break through my armor?
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
Kickstart the drama
Kickstart the drama
It's a little too late to want me now
It's dead and gone
'Cause the fact that you messed things up
It's your fault and that's real talk
Now I'm done with your song
'Cause the melody's all wrong
So why you wanna go kickstart the drama?
Now don't you know you can't break through my armor?
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
So why you wanna go kickstart the drama?
Now don't you know you can't break through my armor?
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
Now I'll be the one that gets to not return your calls
And you'll be the one who gets to feel invisible
So why you wanna go kickstart the drama?
Now don't you know you can't break through my armor?
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
So why you wanna go kickstart the drama?
Now don't you know you can't break through my armor?
Just leave me alone, leave me alone
