| Plain speech at the top of the red house
|
| Plain speech, lit shoes at the courtyard
|
| Plain speech, a pusher on a platform
|
| Plain speech
|
| The voice of the vendor at the bike shop
|
| «Throw the tire on the dish»
|
| You, you helped me onto the fixie
|
| And you, you held your arms to the sides
|
| And just for a moment, just for a moment
|
| I stopped the aching muscle from to carry me away
|
| But not with this body, not with this body
|
| I got a date in Austin with a friend from the bay
|
| Well it’s in my nature
|
| To sit and watch the folding bridge
|
| Well it’s in my nature
|
| To reach my arms across the ridge
|
| Now I know, now I know
|
| And after I saw you by the bike shop
|
| You touched your thumb to my cheek
|
| And I carried, I carried back to the railing
|
| And you, you pedaled off to the east
|
| And just for a moment, just for a moment
|
| I stopped the aching muscle from to carry me away
|
| But not with this body, not with this body
|
| I know that I am leaving but just hold me for a moment
|
| Just for a moment (just for a moment)
|
| Just for a moment
|
| I stopped the aching muscle from to carry me away
|
| But not with this body, not with this body
|
| 'Cause I know, 'cause I know |
