The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight Lyrics

Lyrics The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - The Postal Service



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
(Where I am)
(Where I am)
I'll wear my badge
A vinyl sticker with big block letters
Adhering 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'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
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
Why I was the one worth leaving
