The Egg

Five wheels, chosen for their skill at breakneck speed

Three break leaving two that strain to barely breathe

There's one left, he can't notice

He's hoping for an Egg

Five wheels chosen for their need for untold speed

Three break leaving two more, straining just to breathe

There's one now, he can't notice

He's waiting on his Egg

Five wheels, stolen for their skill at breakneck speed

Three break leaving two more straining at the leash

There's one now, he can't notice

Until he's found his Egg

And it hangs there spinning

And brightly glowing

And he can't stop laughing

And his palms keep sweating

And he can't stop dreaming

Of cradling his Egg

Five wheels, chosen for their skill at breakneck speed

Three break leaving two more strain to barely breathe

But there's one left, he can't notice

He's almost got his Egg

Five wheels, stolen for their need for untold speed

Three break leaving two more straining just to breathe

There's one left but he can't notice

He's cradling his Egg

And it hangs there spinning

And brightly glowing

And he can't stop laughing

And his palms keep sweating

And it's spinning faster

And flowing brighter

And he can't stop dreaming

Of cradling his Egg
