Smeared black ink
Your palms are sweaty
I'm barely listening
To last demands
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
What's buried underneath
Where I stand
Wear my badge
Vinyl sticker with big block letters
Adherent to my chest
And it tells me where I am
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
I was the one worth leaving
And 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
I was the one worth leaving
I was the one worth leaving
