lyrics

the fat kid rides his bike in the snow

my timing is off today
my feet they won’t seen to stay in line
I walk with gravel buried eyes
and without my eyes I can’t be seen
I ride my bike through drifts of snow
well don’t you know you can’t be seen
teeth cut out of stainless steel
line up at my heels and we’re away

I might never stop at all
until the buildings turn inches tall
and the sleet stings into my eyes
wheels turn spokes sing
and the cold air whines

and we all know
we all should know
the stutter climbs another rung

past sleeping cars blanketed velveteen
my gears and chains machines make for better days
I look over my shoulder at horsetooth smiling back
and remember to breathe

past prairie dog towns and fence posts bleached
the street lights reach to the edge of town
fingers of taped handle bars
my tires leave jagged scars in snow to prove I’ve been
I ride me bike through drifts of snow
well don’t you know you can’t be seen
teeth cut out of stainless steel
line up at my heels and we’re away

and we all know
we all should know
the stutter climbs another rung

I might never stop at all
until the buildings turn inches tall
and the sleet stings into my eyes
wheels turn spokes sing
and the cold air whines
