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?
I'll wear my badge, a vinyl sticker with big block letters
Adhered to my chest
It 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
And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
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
