The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (The Postal Service cover) 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
Wear my badge
A vinyl sticker with big block letters
Adhered to my chest
Tell your new friends
That I am a visitor here
And I am not permanent
And the only thing keeping me dry is...
It seems 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
That I was the one worth leaving
And the district sleeps alone tonight
After the bars turn out their lights
And sends the auto's swerving into the loneliest evenings
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
Your palms are sweaty and I'm barely listening
To last demands.
What's buried underneath
Where I am
A vinyl sticker with big block letters
Adhered to my chest
Tell your new friends
That I am a visitor here
And I am not permanent
In this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key
Explaining that I'm just visiting
And I am finally seeing
That I was the one worth leaving
After the bars turn out their lights
And sends the auto's swerving into the loneliest evenings
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
