Smeared black ink
your palms are sweaty
and I'm barely listening
to last demands
I'm staring at the asphault wondering
whats buried underneath
wear my badge
a vinyl sticker with the big block letters
adhered onto my chest
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
well I am finally seeing
well I was the one worth leaving
well I was the one worth leaving
(well I was the one worth leaving)
(well I was the one worth leaving)
(D.C. sleeps alone tonight)
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
(D.C. sleeps alone tonight)
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
(D.C. sleeps alone tonight)
(where I am)

well I was the one worth leaving
well 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
well I was the one worth leaving
well I was the one worth leaving
well I was the one worth leaving
the one worth leaving
the one worth leaving
(where I am)
