District Sleeps Alone Tonight

Smeared black ink... Your face is ashen

And 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'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,

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 am just visiting.

Where I am... And I am finally seeing 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 leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening,

And I am finally seeing

Why I was the one worth leaving.
