| Wait here for the flag to fall
|
| And follow me to the edge of town
|
| Your family s seen you on your bike
|
| All they say is it s such a waste of time
|
| Stay clear of the runner up
|
| He s got some tricks he s not afraid to try
|
| I stopped racing years ago
|
| I stopped listening I stopped speaking
|
| The world has kept you on your toes
|
| Speak to me with your hands
|
| I ve got my friends safe in a cocoon
|
| But I ve read enough to know it will end
|
| Kerosene is my last line of defense
|
| Against all the rules I ve bent
|
| I m in the dark there, I m in the basement
|
| That s where I keep them, that s where they re buzzing
|
| Last year was a good year, I beat myself to a bloody mess
|
| But blue is the colour of the days I m hoping for
|
| What have you done to the mind you had
|
| Out there somewhere is the finish line
|
| I came to on a bed
|
| I must have been taken by surprise
|
| I must have lost my head!
|
| Speak to me, if you can |
