Bicycles - Billy Woods

Place your bets, mind vex

Time walks across seas, audio Gallile-

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 lead, 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 remember your whole life

Cheap motels, you could tell who’s vice

Cheapest thrills is twice the price

Scrap metals shouldered and drilled into a mic

So I was ready when they came deader than night

Tell I sent you when you get to paradise

Place your bets, mind vex

Time walks across seas, audio Gallile-

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 lead, cyclical stir, dash of sweet

Two parts bitter, reality’s elixir

Memories hum as the taste lingers

Interstate interdiction, Dixie what they whistling

Jumped out the jackpot, landed in a tight spot

Maze of the minotaur, cave got a cyclops

Raid hit the front door, already out the back in my high tops

Ad hoc corner 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 a gun and knife

Your guess as good as mine on a night like tonight

Night like tonight
