The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (街角 今晚孤眠) - The Hampdens

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

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

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

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

The district sleeps alone 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
