The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (DJ Downfall Persistent Beat Mix) Lyrics
Smeared black ink.Your palms are sweaty,and I'm barely listeningto last demands.I'm staring at the asphalt wonderingWhat's buried underneath where I am?(Where I am)I'll wear my badge:a vinyl sticker with big block lettersadhered to my chest.It tells your new friendsI am a visitor here... I am not permanentAnd 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'm just visiting.And I am finally seeingwhy I was the one worth leaving.(I was the one worth leaving)D.C. sleeps alone tonight.(Where I am)You seem so out of contextin this gaudy apartment complex.(Where I am)A stranger with your door keyexplaining that I'm just visiting.(Where I am)And I am finally seeingwhy I was the one worth leaving.(I was the one worth leaving)(Where I am)The District sleeps alone tonightafter the bars turn out their lights.(Where I am)And send the autos swervinginto the loneliest evening.(Where I am)And I am finally seeingwhy 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.
