The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (DJ Downfall Persistent Beat Mix)

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Interlude]

Where I am

Where I am

Where I am

[Chorus]

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 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)

[Bridge]

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

(D.C. sleeps alone tonight)

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

[Chorus]

(Where I am)

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 seeing

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

The one worth leaving

The one worth leaving

[Outro]

Where I am

Where I am

Where I am
