Axels and chains and Feet and brains It's the bicycle beats And the trees and the streets Join the lines in the sidewalk As I ride and I talk To myself, "Breathe in," & "Breathe out," -- Burning and churning to the Grooves and the cracks Red light's the only chance to relax Racing the bus and flashing a grin To the sorry folks trapping themselves therein Ecstasy building with each revolution Wiping my sweat away, tasting pollution Grinding and winding a path on my bike Where cars and pedestrians hate me alike
