lyrics

It’s a cyclist’s perfect winter

In the city built on splintered wood
And drywalled steel
Bikers dodging Fords
While the good ladies and lords go
Dancing and romancing
All across the landscape
Painting red each place they go
I thought you ought to know
We’re just strangers in this place
And they can read it on our face
Like an open map
Spread across a tablecloth
With paper-weighted coffee cups to hold it down
We’ll get acquainted as we walk around this town

You say we’re connected through astrology
But I’m telling you it’s biology
Feel I owe you an apology
But I guess I missed the point
'cause in the long-run of chronology
We’ll discover how it ought to be
Find another way is not for me
I wake in love with who I see in front of me
And it’s you I see in front of me

Like Tetris blocks in a single bed
The resting place that finds your head
Destroys the thoughts that block my sleep
We rest like tea leaves left to steep
In water, warm and comforting
I dream in chorales trumpeting
A tune I’ve never herds before
Drifting sweetly through the door
Like the light that keeps the closet beasts
Dormant for a while, at least
Long enough just to find some peace
Long enough just to find some kind of peace
At least until the morning comes…

It’s a cyclist’s perfect winter
In the city built on splintered wood
And drywalled steel.
