District Sleeps Alone Tonight Lyrics - Birdy - Birdy

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 

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) 

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) 

D.C. sleeps alone tonight 

D.C. 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 

And leave 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
