Frank Turner - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight lyrics
rate meSmeared black ink<br />
Your palms are sweaty<br />
And I'm barely listening<br />
To last demands<br />
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering<br />
What's buried underneath where I am<br />
<br />
I'll wear my badge<br />
A vinyl sticker with big block letters<br />
Adherent to my chest<br />
That tells your new friends<br />
I am a visitor here: I am not permanent<br />
And the only thing keeping me dry is where I am<br />
<br />
You seem so out of context<br />
In this gaudy apartment complex<br />
A stranger with your door key<br />
Explaining that I am just visiting<br />
And I am finally seeing<br />
Why I was the one worth leaving<br />
<br />
D.C. sleeps alone tonight<br />
<br />
You seem so out of context<br />
In this gaudy apartment complex<br />
A stranger with your door key<br />
Explaining that I am just visiting<br />
And I finally seeing<br />
Why I was the one worth leaving<br />
<br />
The district sleeps alone tonight<br />
After the bars turn out their lights<br />
And send the autos swerving<br />
Into the loneliest evening<br />
And I am finally seeing<br />
Why I was the one worth leaving
