Bicycles

Place your bets, mind vex
Time walks across seas, audio Galilee
Can't tell you what's bound to be
Catching views from my window seat
Finding truth in the trees
Resolve from the breeze shiver me timbers!
Bob and weave as I follow leads
Cyclical stir, dash of sweet
Two parts bitter, reality's elixir
Memories hum as the taste lingers

Broke out the back-pedal brake bike
Put tape on the tape, dubbed over it twice
Second childhood, neither was very nice
Took it as a joke
But took note he never said sike
Funny, the things you remember
Your whole life
Cheap motel, she can tell who's vice
Cheapest thrills was twice the price
Scrap metal soldered and drilled into a mic
So I was ready when they came
Dead of the night
Tell 'em I sent you when you get to paradise

Place your bets, mind vex
Time walks across seas, audio Galilee
Can't tell you what's bound to be
Catching views from my window seat
Finding truth in the trees
Resolve from the breeze shiver me timbers!
Bob and weave as I follow leads
Cyclical stir, dash of sweet
Two parts bitter, reality's elixir
Memories hum as the taste lingers

Interstate interdiction
Dixie what they whistlin'
Jumped out the jackpot
Landed in a tight spot
Maze with the minotaur, cave got a cyclops
Raid hit the front door
Already out the back in my high tops
Ad hoc, pouring in eyedrops
Always forgot the numbers to my locker lock
In class with no books
Well prepared for 'bows and hooks
When it's time to fight, left, left, right
Later my peers would invest in gun and knife
Your guess as good as mine
On a night like tonight night like tonight
