1.The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

作词:Ben Gibbard, Jimmy Tamborello

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, where I am

Wear my badge, a vinyl sticker
With big block letters adhered to my chest
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'm 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'm 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 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
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
