1.The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
Lyricist: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
2.Suddenly Everything Has Changed
Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins
Putting all the vegetables away
That you bought at the grocery store today
And it goes fast, you think of the past
Suddenly everything has changed
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Driving home the sky accelerates
And the clouds all form a geometric shape
Then it goes fast, you think of the past
Suddenly everything has changed
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Putting all the clothes you washed away
And as you're folding up the shirts you hesitate
Then it goes fast, you think of the past
Suddenly everything has changed
3.The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (DJ Downfall Persistent Beat Mix)
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)
I'll wear my badge:
a vinyl sticker with big block letters
adhered to my chest.
It 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.
(I was the one worth leaving)
D.C. sleeps alone tonight.
(Where I am)
You seem so out of context
in this gaudy apartment complex.
(Where I am)
A stranger with your door key
explaining that I'm just visiting.
(Where I am)
And I am finally seeing
why I was the one worth leaving.
(I was the one worth leaving)
(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.
why I was the one worth leaving.
why I was the one worth leaving.
why I was the one worth leaving.
4.Such Great Heights (Remix by John Tejada)
I am thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
that God himself did make
us into corresponding shapes
like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch
but its thoughts like this that catch
my troubled head when you're away
when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road
for several weeks of shows
and when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great heights,
'Come down now', they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'Come down now', but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave
this all on your machine
but the persistent beat it sounded thin upon listening
And that frankly will not fly
you will hear the shrillest highs
and lowest lows with the windows down
when this is guiding you home
They will see us waving from such great heights,
'Come down now', they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
'Come down now', but we'll stay...
They will see us waving from such great heights,
'Come down now', they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
'Come down now', but we'll stay...
They will see us waving from such great heights,
'Come down now'
They will see us waving from such great heights,
'Come down now'
