lyrics

She remembers

A hand

on the back of little blue
First two wheeler
Blue and white knight in chrome armour
On the slightly sloping, damp asphalt of the spring schoolyard
Two small feet pushing two small pedals
He holds onto the metal frame
Of the two-wheel, three-speed steed
She pedals harder
He runs behind her
holds her steady steady, steady!
knows she’s ready ready, ready?

And faster
And faster
And faster
And faster

And I don’t remember
The Moment When He Let Go
Didn’t know I
Was flying solo
All I felt was the feeling
Wind and free wheeling
Suddenly glorious
Amelia Earhart:
victorious
under my own steam
Chrome fenders gleam

I am a spinning
machine

Loooookk oooooutt!
