Ford's Theatre is a historic theatre in Washington, D.C., used for various stage performances beginning in the 1860s. It is also the site of the assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. After being shot, the fatally wounded president was carried across the street to the Petersen House, where he died the next morning.
The theatre was later used as a warehouse and office building. It was renovated and re-opened as a theatre in 1968. During the 2000s it was renovated again, opening on February 12, 2009, in commemoration of Lincoln's bicentennial. A related "Center for Education and Leadership" museum experience opened February 12, 2012 next to Petersen House.
The Petersen House and the theatre are preserved together as Ford's Theatre National Historic Site, administered by the National Park Service; programming within the theatre and the "Center for Education" is overseen separately by the Ford's Theatre Society in a public-private partnership.
Ford's Theatre is located at 511 10th Street, NW.

Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was an American industrialist, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. Ford spent most of his life making headlines, good, bad, but never indifferent. Celebrated as both a technological genius and a folk hero, Ford was the creative force behind an industry of unprecedented size and wealth that in only a few decades permanently changed the economic and social character of the United States. He is credited with "Fordism": mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers. Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. His intense commitment to systematically lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put dealerships throughout most of North America and in major cities on six continents. Ford left most of his vast wealth to the Ford Foundation but arranged for his family to control the company permanently.
Don't try to make me what I don't wanna be
This is my life and I will do what I please
You say my fate is hopeless,
You say I have no focus
The more I suffocate the more I can see
My bedroom walls are closing on me
As my life passes before me
I know I am living but this life ain't for me
And I still forever wanna get away
And I will show you that you are wrong
And I still believe there's another way
And I will show you that you are wrong
You know that I will
You come to me with all your visions of hope
You say I let you down so leave me alone
You got your hands on my neck
My strength is more than you expect
The more I suffocate the more I am free
The more I suffocate the more I can see
My bedroom walls are closing on me
As my life passes before me
I know I am living but this life ain't for me
And I still forever wanna get away
And I will show you that you are wrong
And I still believe there's another way
And I will show you that you are wrong
You gave me your word and then walked away
And i tried to play along
You're such a tragic lust fantasy
And you keep me hanging on
Killing all my enemies in the end it's you and me
You're acting like you're scared of me
You know i'm not the enemy
Standing in the rain by myself got me suicidal
And i wonder where did i go wrong
Standing in the rain
I know i am lying to myself and still i wonder
Where did i go wrong?
You got me tangled in your web
And i'll never get away
I still remember what you said
Do you remember what you said?
Killing all my enemies
In the end it's you and me
You are acting like your scared of me
You know i am not the enemy
I'm facing all of my regrets
I'm taking all that I can get
It's right in front of me, but I don't wanna see
I guess I'll never understand it
It never goes how I planned it
I'm not afraid of taking chances
How come I'm shit out of luck?
Oh my God I fucked up again!
My whole life is the same mistake
and I try and I try to find my way out
but I know that I'll fuck up again
I am the habit that I can break
And I don't know another way
Should I be satisfied with what I leave behind?
I guess I'll never understand it
It never goes how I planned
I'm not afraid of taking chances
How come I'm a shit out of luck?
Oh my God I fucked up again!
My whole life is the same mistake
and I try and I try to find my way out
but I know that I'll fuck up again
Maybe I need a second chance...
Or maybe this is who I am
I guess I'll never understand it
It never goes how I planned
I'm not afraid of taking chances
How come I'm a shit out of luck?
Oh my God I fucked up again!
My whole life is one mistake
and I try and I try to find my way out
I do a little bit and try to quit but damage done
I'm too far gone
I'm doing everything I wanna do
So how you gonna tell me it's wrong?
From the tip of my toes to the rush sent to my head
It's a feeling I know I'll never feel again
Start it up, start it up start it up let it go
Start it up, start it up till your body says no!
Start it up, start it up start it up let it go
Start it up, start it up till your body says no!
I am unaffected for a second but the second goes on too long
I feel neglected and rejected but then suddenly I fell so
strong
And I can't get away from myself long enough to be saved
So I take what you give and you tell me I am ok
Start it up, start it up start it up let it go
Start it up, start it up till your body says no!
Start it up, start it up start it up let it go
Start it up, start it up till your body says no!
So I take what you give and you tell me I am ok
Start it up, start it up start it up let it go
Start it up, start it up till your body says no!
Start it up, start it up start it up let it go

I could be the answer to the questions that you ask in your mind
I could be the reason why you feel what you feel in your heart
I will give you time tell me what you wanna fell
You should know my kind
I ain't no angel one look in my eyes
and you know: this ain't heaven
I will give you happiness I'll tell you lies
but you know this ain't heaven
You may think the sun will rise and change my point of view
but you're wrong
You can paint a picture of your perfect kind of life when I'm gone
When I'm gone
I ain't no angel one look in my eyes
and you know: this ain't heaven
I will give you happiness I'll tell you lies
but you know this ain't heaven
I will give you time
Tell me what you wanna feel
You should know my kind
I ain't no angel one look in my eyes
and you know: this ain't heaven
Ill give you happiness I'll tell you lies

Just around midnight the stars light my way
I walk with my feet off the ground
I go to a place that my head has never been
Somehow it's pulling me down
Automatic voices in my head
Am I living, am I dead?
It gets so complicated in my mind
And I don't know why
It gets so complicated all the time
No matter how hard I try
I try to fight my way out of this place
Theses empty streets turn me down
You say the truth right in front of my face
But that won't turn me around
Automatic voices in my head
Am I living, am I dead?
It gets so complicated in my mind
And I don't know why
It gets so complicated all the time
No matter how hard I try
I can't fake it, I'm not changing, I am wasted...
Conversations all the same
I ain't gonna play no fuking games
Deep inside I wanna change
But I know I'll always walk away
If I tell you everything, will you tell me what you fear?
When I tell you what I feel, will you tell me what is real?
I'm nothing that you've seen before
I am free, I'm gonna be all that you see
When you wake up next to me
And when you dream who will you be, when you wake up next to me?
Smoking drinking gasoline I am everything you want to me
Got nine lives I have wasted five
but I know that time is on my side
If I tell you everything, will you tell me what you fear?
When I tell you what I feel, will you tell me what is real?
I'm nothing that you've seen before
I am free, I'm gonna be all that you see
When you wake up next to me
It's all the little things
It's everything you are
and you're gone, it makes me crazy
You're sticking to my heart and I am out of mind
I wan't to know your pulse is racing
I think I like it I think I need it
I think I like it, I think I need it
You know you're everything I want
You know you're everything I need
I think I like it, I think I need it
Say you want me, say you need me
Say I'm what you're looking for
Say you love me, say you leave me
Make me want you even more
I wanna feel, I wanna feel like I've never felt before
I know know, I know, tell me what I'm looking for
When you're all alone, do you think of me?
Is it real or are we faking?
I watch you come and go
I know you're somewhere else
I can watch but I can't chase it
I think I like it, I think I need it
I know you're everything I want
You know you're everything to me
I think I like it, I think I need it
Say you want me, say you need me
Say I'm what you're looking for
Say you'd love me, say you leave me
Make me want you even more
I wanna feel, I wanna feel like I've never felt before
I pick up the telephone and I hear about all that you have done
I turn on my television and see what you have become
I could say that I'm happy for you, but I
I wanna know...
How does it feel when you're wanted?
Do you fight it all that let it go to your head?
How does it feel when you're famous?
Is it happiness or isn't it in your head?
I look at theses broken pieces
And feel the distance between us
I've got all our old pictures, they are faded
But they still have meaning
How can you forget your past so easy?
I remember mine...
How does it feel when you're wanted?
Do you fight it all that echo to your head?
How does it feel when you're famous?
Is it happiness or is it in your head?
Do you remember our first trip to LA?
Do you remember the things we used to say?
It seems to me that you're happier alone
How does it feel when you're wanted?
Do you fight it all that echo to your head?
How does it feel when you're famous?
Is it happiness or is it in your head?
Oh, you're wanted, tell me how it feels.
Oh, you're wanted, I wanna know...
You're the one in my mind
And you walk through my dreams
And as strange as it seems, you will never be a stranger to me.
I will abandon all the answers
that I kept in my back pocket
So give up your convictions
and follow your heart for one night
Try to cancel you fear, forget why all you hear
You know that this time, there's nothing to lose
Moving too fast
Are you stuck in the past?
No, you don't have to ask
'Cause you'll always be the answer to me
I will abandon all the answers
that I kept in my back pocket
So give up your convictions
and follow your heart for one night
Try to cancel you fear, forget why all you hear
You know that this time, there's nothing to lose
Open your mind and show me the truth
Look in my eyes, there's nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
So you've tried before
Now try again
I'm asking you to let me in
Ooh, nothing to lose
I will abandon all the answers
I kept'em in my back pocket
So give up your convictions
and follow your heart for one night
Try to cancel you fear, forget why all you hear
You know that this time, there's nothing to lose
Open your mind and show me the truth
Look in my eyes, there's nothing to lose
Nobody said that it was easy
Nobody said that this is how it should be
I wanna be, I wanna dream, I wanna see what we are missing
Every step you take, I'll walk you through it
Every when you breake, I put it back together
If they wanna throw you to the ground
If they try to kick you when your down
Even if there's no one else around
I'll stand up, stand up for you
Always you and me, never gonna stop what we believe
Even if the world is on its knees I will sand up
I'll stand up, stand up for you
I know your past has made you cautions
You know our future is more that you can see
But I believe, I believe we can kick the door wide open
Every step you take, I'm walking through it
Even when you breake, I put it back together
If they wanna throw you to the ground
If they try to kick you when your down
Even if there's no one else around
I will sand up I will stand up for you
Always you and me never gonna stop what we believe
Even if the world is on it's knees I will sand up
I will stand up for you
We can turn this thing all around
We can make it with the hand untight
I'll stand up, stand up.
If they wanna throw you to the ground
If they try to kick you when your down
Even if there's no one else around
I will sand up I will stand up for you
Always you and me never gonna stop what we believe
Even if the world is on it's knees I will sand up
I will stand up for you
Anything you want, anything you need
Anything that you want me to be
