New Orleans Lyrics by Mal Blum

You Look a Lot Like Me

2015

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
