Frank Turner - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight lyrics

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

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 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

DC sleeps alone tonight

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'm 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
