The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
Written By: Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello	Recorded: Spring 2002
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 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 a stranger with a door key explaining that i am just visiting and i am finally seeing 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 a door key explaining that i am just visiting and i am finally seeing 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
