i know you can spend your whole life waiting for a sign neon flashing gold lights and it s dark enough outside but i m sitting on the side street doing nothing with my time while the punk kids in the quarter made a thousand bucks tonight but that s not me before i leave or move my feet i m gonna freeze i m gonna freeze she says people can be different but i don t miss my home still every winter here the pipes burst because they re not used to being cold and i live alone instead now and i don t mind it like i did if the house is haunted anyway what s another empty bed but as for me before i leave or move my feet i m gonna freeze i m gonna freeze new orleans in the winter chicago in the fall things that are and are not that we leave comfortably unsolved i should and i should not go i can and cannot call though i guess that doing nothing is doing something after all but i could still leave i could still leave i could still leave
