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 |
| I’ll wear my badge… a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent 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 You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex |
| A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting |
| And I am finally seeing |
| Why I was the one worth leaving |
| Why I was the one worth leaving |
| D.C. sleeps alone tonight |
| You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex |
| A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting |
| And I am finally seing |
| Why I was the one worth leaving |
| Why I was the one worth leaving |
| 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 |
| Why I was the one worth leaving |
| Why I was the one worth leaving |
| Why I was the one worth leaving |
