Postal Service, The - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight Lyrics

Complimentary "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" Ringtone

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 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 
Where I am 
Where I am 

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex 
A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting 
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 
Where I am 
Where I am 

You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex 
A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting 
And I am finally seing 
Why I was the one worth leaving 
Why I was the one worth leaving 

Where I am 
Where I am 
Where I am 

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
