Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (DJ Downfall)

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
