The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

Smeared black ink Your palms are sweaty And I'm barely listening To last demands I'm staring at the asphalt wondering What's buried underneath (Where I am) (Where I am) I'll wear my badge A vinyl sticker with big block letters Adhering to my chest That tells your new friends I am a visitor here, I am not permanent And the only thing Keeping me dry is (Where I am) You seem so out of context In this gaudy apartment complex (Where I am) A stranger with your door key Explaining that I'm just visiting (Where I am) And I am finally seeing Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving D.C. sleeps alone tonight (Where I am) You seem so out of context In this gaudy apartment complex (Where I am) A stranger with your door key Explaining that I'm just visiting (Where I am) And I am finally seeing Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving (Where I am) The district sleeps alone tonight After the bars turn out their lights (Where I am) And send the autos swerving Into the loneliest evening (Where I am) And I am finally seeing Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving
