A stranger with your door key
A stranger with your door key
A vinyl sticker with big block letters
Adhering to my chest
And I am finally seeing
And I am finally seeing
And I am finally seeing
And I'm barely listening
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
Explaining that I'm just visiting
Explaining that I'm just visiting
I am a visitor here; I am not permanent
I wear my badge
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
In this gaudy apartment complex
In this gaudy apartment complex
Keeping me dry is
Smeared black ink
That tells your new friends:
The district sleeps alone tonight
What's buried underneath
Where I am
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
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
Your palms are sweaty
(Where I am)
