The bicycles inside your skull

Send you away and off you go

And pin them onto clouds and trees and aggravate your paranoid

And shivering fears and rolling eggs, can you not see a star out there?

The lizard skins around yourself

Drop off and let the others through

In reds and whites and blacks and blues

Each facet shines or breaks anew

And in a big tall building she lets out her hair into the street
Fm
Where cars and trucks career through it
D
Until the ends get wrecked and split

And in a café by the sea you stir your tea and suck your spoon

And when your breakfast comes you're miles away
A
And all your eggs get cold

You're where the light is blinding bright
A A
And all the windows tilt to you
