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 bigh block letters adherent to my chest

That tells your new friends i am a visitory 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 yor door key explaining that i am just visiting

And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving



D.C. sleeps alone tonight



You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex

A stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting

And i am finally seing 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
