Smeared black ink, your face is 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 (Gaudy apartment complex) Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting) Where I am (I am finally seeing) Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving D.C. sleeps alone tonight D.C. sleeps alone tonight Where I am (Gaudy apartment complex) Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting) Where I am (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 send the autos swerving Into the loneliest evening 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
