The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
Smeared black ink
Your palms are sweaty
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
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
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
Alone
(Where I am)
You seem so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex
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
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
Where I am
Where I am
