Triple J - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight lyrics

[Verse 1: Thomas Calder] 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 [Bridge: Betty Yeowart] Where I am [Verse 2: Thomas Calder] Where I am A vinyl sticker with big block letters adhering to my chest Tells your new friends I am a visitor here I am not permanent Only thing keeping me dry is... [Chorus: Thomas Calder] You seem 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 Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving [Interlude: Thomas Calder (Betty Yeowart)] D.C. sleeps alone tonight (Alone, alone, alone, alone... Alone, alone, alone, alone...) [Outro: Thomas Calder (Betty Yeowart)] (Where I am) The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights (Where I am) And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening (Where I am) And I am finally seeing Why I was the one worth leaving (Where I am) Why I was the one worth leaving
