Lyrics Handlebars, Brakes, Wheels and Gears - Dan Bull

Handlebars, Brakes, Wheels and Gears

Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here, yeah
Just you and your bike, you can do what you like
Free as the dreams where you fly from your room in the night
And in two minutes time, you’ll be due to arrive
At the finish line, winning pride, kudos and prizes
The wide world’s full of surprised, if you keep them peeled
Look behind leaves and trees, secrets will be revealed
Roaming round in the lonely mountains
Rolling down dirt roads and counting
Sick of the rat race and all the shouting
You gotta graft in this place to pull the crowds in
Read all about it, paperboy
Leave all the doubters making noise
See scorn and frown on their face, annoyed
That their hypotheses are blatantly destroyed
By the ferocity of you and your velocipede
For conquering what they believed impossibly too tough to beat
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here, yeah
Take an outing to the range of mountains here
Let the bounty of nature surround your ears
Listen out and you’re bound to hear
The different sounds that abound from afar and near
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here, yeah
Smash glass ceilings, break down doors
That’s that feeling in the great outdoors
No walls, no school for the term
No rules, no cause for concern
It doesn’t matter how often you fail
Just get back in the saddle and follow the trail (keep going)
Your former self’s always hot on your tail
If you keep him in your rearview you’re gonna prevail
You’re gonna fall off, you’re gonna graze knees
You’re gonna train till your joints ache and they seize
To make mistakes is a humanness
So you can take them as painful or humorous
Take your talent, put it to the test
Whether you trained to make it or you’re truly blessed
Really all that you can do is do your best
And let gravity do the rest
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here, yeah
Take an outing to the range of mountains here
Let the bounty of nature surround your ears
Listen out and you’re bound to hear
The different sounds that abound from afar and near
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here, yeah
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It’s all downhill from here, yeah
