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 chest,
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,
How I was the one worth leaving,
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,
How I was the one worth leaving,
The one worth leaving.
