You slide into cracked vinyl booth
Chrome spokes kiss your dusty boot
Fluorescent buzz hums overhead
Night cook cracks eggs on griddle red
Three AM and the bicycle sings
Underneath the booth steel springs
Pedal steel cries through garage din
You're finally home you're finally in
Grease stains map the denim knee
Chain rings hum a minor key
Coffee steam fogs the window pane
You taste the salt you taste the rain
Harmonica breathes in rusted air
Half remembered hymn floats there
Pie crust crumbles on the plate
Sweet relief arrives too late
Three AM and the bicycle sings
Underneath the booth steel springs
Pedal steel cries through garage din
You're finally home you're finally in
Tension coils in spoke and chain
Garage rock breaks the window pane
Gravel voice turns to open sky
Claustrophobia learns to fly
Dawn leaks in through greasy glass
Spokes stop humming night retreats
Booth springs settle engine cools
You pay the check you break the rules
Three AM and the bicycle sings
Underneath the booth steel springs
Pedal steel cries through garage din
You're home now you're home within
Spokes go quiet morning breaks
You ride out with what it takes
