The bicycles inside your skull

Send you away and off you go

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

The lizard skins around yourself
A
Drop off and let the others through
Fm
In reds and whites and blacks and blues

Each facet shines or breaks anew
FmA
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

Where all the doors are bright and free

And in a caf 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
FmFm
You're where the light is blinding bright
AA
And all the windows tilt to you
