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 Adhered to my chest It tells your new friends "I am a visitor here, I am not permanent" And the only thing, keepin' me dry is Where I am? Where I am? Where I am? 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? Why I was the one worth leaving? (I was the one worth leaving) (I was the one worth leaving) D.C. sleeps alone tonight D.C. sleeps alone tonight D.C. sleeps alone tonight 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 Why 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 The one worth leaving The one worth leaving (Where I am, where I am?) (Where I am, where I am?)
