Mal Blum - New Orleans lyrics

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
