Static on the Spokes

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sky is turning charcoal gray
I’ve been riding all damn day
Crumpled slips inside my vest
Rust-belt city does its best
Concrete’s steaming in the heat
Tires humming on the street
[Pre-Chorus]
Phone is buzzing on my hip
Don't you let the secret slip
One new text and I might fly
Underneath this heavy sky
[Chorus]
Pedal faster than the rain
Wash away the daily strain
Neon diner’s glowing green
Best thing that I’ve ever seen
Maybe I can break the lease
Finally find a little peace
Racing thunder through the town
Nothing’s gonna slow me down
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning wheels in the light
Everything is gonna be alright
Spinning wheels in the light
Everything is gonna be alright
[Verse]
Water’s dripping through the vents
Spent my last few lousy cents
Chain is slipping, gears are tight
I’ll be working through the night
Dispatch screaming in my ear
But your name is all I hear
[Pre-Chorus]
Casio stabs in my head
Forget everything they said
I’m just checking on the time
Thinking how you’re purely mine
[Chorus]
Pedal faster than the rain
Wash away the daily strain
Neon diner’s glowing green
Best thing that I’ve ever seen
Maybe I can break the lease
Finally find a little peace
Racing thunder through the town
Nothing’s gonna slow me down
[Bridge]
Over the bridge where the iron is brown
Looking at ghosts of a factory town
I’m more than a number, I’m more than a ghost
Heading to where I might love you the most
The wind is a chorus, the clouds are a sign
Everything’s messy but feeling divine
[Hook]
G major sunlight
Breaking the midnight
Feeling the soul ignite
Holding the bars tight
[Chorus]
Pedal faster than the rain
Wash away the daily strain
Neon diner’s glowing green
Best thing that I’ve ever seen
Maybe I can break the lease
Finally find a little peace
Racing thunder through the town
Nothing’s gonna slow me down
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning wheels in the light
Everything is gonna be alright
Spinning wheels in the light
Everything is gonna be alright
[Outro]
