This haunted house is all that I can see
All that I can be with
These things can't stay
Hauling out things to give away
At this yard sale today
Where the clouds are a darkened grey

These oldest things
That I've collected over time
These treasured things
That are no longer mine

You see something you like
Its old and rusty but it just might
Be alright if you treat it right
The breaks are broken but the chain seem tight
Not much to look at but it'll take you to the sites
This old bike will put up a fight
This old bike might make things a little brighter
Might help you see the light

Chin up, you grumpy soul
Ride down this bumpy road
Turn that frown into a better tone
You're on your own and you know
Your all alone but now you've grown

Things aren't as bad as they seem
Kings aren't glad when you dream
Wings are better when they're clean
Things you had been which you didn't mean

Push on these pedals
Go a little faster
Hit these daisy petals
These cuts and scrapes that you need to plaster

Cycle up the hill
When will you reach what your looking for
Why cant you get your fill
When you don't know what your looking for
There is so much to adore
Let your goal spread to so much more
Put the bike back down on the floor
And you might find each other behind this shut door

Waiting up all night for the day to arrive
Trying to set things right trying to survive.
These birds are bouncing
The bees in their hive
The dogs are chasing
The rabbits till they hide
Got to be alive
Try stay alive

Hauling out things to give away
At this yard sale today
He sees something he likes
Its old and rusty but it just might
Be alright if he treats it right
But with you,
These sky's are blue
