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 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
Where I am
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
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
DC sleeps alone tonight
DC sleeps alone tonight
DC sleeps alone tonight
DC sleeps alone tonight
DC sleeps alone tonight
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
And I am finally seeing
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
The one worth leaving
The one worth leaving
Where I am
Where I am
Where I am
