I Got Nobody Waiting for Me

I've got nobody waiting for me

There's no one that I have to see

Anytime, any place that I said I would be

Finally I'm free and I'll be anywhere

I'll chase my tail till I fall in a heap

Now all that I have to lose is some sleep

And I'll give away all of the hours you keep

Finally I'm me and I'll be anywhere

I'll stay out until the sun makes a play for the sky

And a new day's begun

I'll sit up the back of the bus

And without any fuss, I will travel

'Cause I've got no one to weigh on my mind

No footsteps are dragging behind

As fingers reach out for the feeling in mind

I got nobody waiting for me

All that money grows out on the trees

Notes float along like seeds on the breeze

And they're easy to catch, but they hatch a disease

That eats away the soul of you, the whole of you

And all those wages we make for our sins

Become cages we lock ourselves in

Become the age that is marked on our skin

But I'm not gonna worry 'bout all that

'Cause I live on the taste of the air

This is life without care and I like it this way

I'll lie across the whole of the bed

And the world in my head, I will travel

But I've got nobody left to impress

No neck for my lips to caress

As I work out the buttoned-up back of a dress

I got nobody waiting for me

Nobody's waiting for me

Well, no, nobody's waiting for me
