Brakeless

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The bank sign out my window is laughing in my face 'Cause it's seven in the morning and only four degrees And there's a city budget crisis, they're closing all the libraries There's no money left for nothing So they're only plowing Broad Street [Verse 2] Picking lunch over the subway I got four bucks to my name And it's another morning bike ride In the fucking freezing rain I pull a second pair of gloves on Tying bags around my feet I'm not getting trench foot this week [Chorus] I heard a song on the radio try to tell me I'm not alone But I feel like it today [Verse 3] Swipe left to dodge a car door 12th and Cecil B Caught my front wheel in the trolly tracks Slid across the street I showed up to work all bloodied up But still got all my teeth And lately that's what's passing as lucky Lucky for me [Chorus] I heard a song on the radio try to tell me I'm not alone But I feel like it today And I heard a song on the radio Said that that's just the way it goes And I think I'm gonna break [Bridge] I keep thinking of ways to make it seem like an accident Pull the brake off my bike so if the bus runs the light well then I've been telling myself that it can't be that serious But if I'm talking like this I guess it is [Chorus] I heard a song on the radio try to tell me I'm not alone And I heard a song on the radio Said that that's just the way it goes And I think I'm gonna break
