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
That 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
That I was the one worth leaving
(Where I am, where I am)
