Wear my badge, vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest. 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 your
door key explaining that I'm just visiting. I am finally seeing, well I was the
one worth leaving.

É difícil de acertar a "energia" com um violão, mas tocando forte
e tentando acertar o tempo pode ficar bom.

Esse final é diferente do final da música mas a impressão é a 
mesma e é um bom final pra ser tocado no violão. Apenas toque
devagar e fraco até desaparecer.
