Birdy - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight lyrics
[Birdy - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight lyrics]
Smeared black ink
Your face is ashen 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
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 am just visiting) where I am
(And I am finally seeing why I
Was the one worth leaving)
(Why I was the one worth leaving)
DC sleeps alone tonight
DC 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 am just visiting) where I am
(And I am finally seeing 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 (where I am)
And leave 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
Your face is ashen 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
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 am just visiting) where I am
(And I am finally seeing why I
Was the one worth leaving)
(Why I was the one worth leaving)
DC sleeps alone tonight
DC 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 am just visiting) where I am
(And I am finally seeing 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 (where I am)
And leave 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
