The District Sleeps Alone Tonight Songtext
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 big block letters

Adherent 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



You seem 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 seeing

Why I was the one worth leaving



D.C. sleeps alone tonight



You seem so out of context

In this gaudy apartment complex

A stranger with your door key

Explaining that I am just visiting

And I 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
