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)
(Where I am)
Wear my badge
A vinyl sticker with big block letters
Adherent to my chest
Tells your new friends
I am a visitor here; I am not permanent
The only thing keeping me dry is
(Where I am)
You seem so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex
(Where I am)
A stranger with your door key
Explaining that I'm just visiting
(Where I am)
I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
(Where I am)
You seem so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex
(Where I am)
A stranger with your door key
Explaining that I'm just visiting
(Where I am)
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
(Where I am)
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
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
(Where I am)
The district sleeps alone tonight
After the bars turn out their lights
(Where I am)
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
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
