Brakeless

[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
