lyrics

I'm gonna take a lunch and not eat
just to walk as many steps as I can,
dodge the freedom trail
and never wait for anything.

My headphones cover my ears and don't play anything at all.
Don't try to talk to me —
I'll improvise a rhythmic nodding.

North doesn't exist! There's no sun and there is spinning!
These streets don't lead anywhere and that's fine for returning.
Now I push the traffic button,
hear the 'wait,' and keep on walking.

Do pedestrian things,
and don't dare think of anything. You're not
paid any extra for processing or given
time for regenerating.
So do pedestrian things.

A thruway's always closed near State Street.
A green scaffold blankets my work building.
I'm not hiding; I'm just leaving,
and being more myself.

Doing pedestrian things
and not daring to Think of anything
with a capital T.
Anything but working.

Walk all the way to the seaport —
you don't even have to look at the sea!
You can breathe little a salt
as a treat.
