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.
Why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.
