Lyrics:

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

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

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.
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
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving.
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 (4x)
