Smeared black ink

What's buried underneath

Where I am

I'll wear my badge
A# D# Gm
G vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest

That tells your new friends

I am a visitor here

I am not permanent
A# D# Gm
And the only thing
A# D# Gm
Keeping me dry is
[Chorus]
A# D# F F
Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex)
[You seem so out of context]

Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting)

The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
