Smeared black ink.
Your palms are sweaty,
I'm barely listening
To last demands.
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering--
What's buried under me?
(There I am) (2x)
I wear my badge--
a vinyl sticker with big block letters
adhering to my chest.
Tells your new friends:
"I am a vistor here,
I am not permanent."
The only thing, keeping me dry is--
It seems so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex.
A stranger with no door key,
explaining that I'm just visiting.
And I am finally seeing
That I was the one worth leaving (2x)
D.C. sleeps alone tonight.
It seems so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex.
A stranger with no door key,
explaining that I'm just visiting.
And I am finally seeing
That I was the one worth leaving (2x)
The district sleeps alone tonight
After the bars turn out their lights.
Send the autumn swerving
Into the loneliest evening.
I am finally seeing
That i was the one worth leaving. (4x)
