The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - Birdy

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

I’ll wear my badge… a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest

That 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 am just visiting

And I am finally seeing

Why I was the one worth leaving

Why I was the one worth leaving

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex

A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting

And I am finally seing

Why I was the one worth leaving

Why 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

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
