The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (DJ Downfall Persistent Beat Mix) lyrics

Smeared black ink Your palms are sweaty. 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 wear my badge. A vinyl sticker with big block letters Adhering to my chest. It tells your new friends, "I am a visitor 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 your door key Explaining that "I'm just visiting". I am finally seeing That I was the one worth leaving. I was the one worth leaving. DC sleeps alone tonight. It seems so out of context In the gaudy apartment complex. A stranger with your door key Explaining that "I'm just visiting". I am finally seeing That I was the one worth leaving. 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. I am finally seeing That I was the one worth leaving. I was the one worth leaving. I was the one worth leaving. I was the one worth leaving.
