The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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) [Chorus] You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex A stranger with your door key explaining that I’m just visiting And I am finally seeing Why I was the one worth leaving D.C. sleeps alone tonight (Where I am) [Chorus] [Outro] The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening And I am finally seeing Why I was the one worth leaving
