Half-Steering...

Pedaling around
 My head's facing down
 Watching specs in the road
 whiz by before my eyes
 Take a two hour break to watch Nasfaratu
 the old German vampire, with the blinds closed
 When the credits hit, turn it off
 and hit the streets of 4 PM once again
 Pedaling around
 Humidity's down
 No longer curling my hair
 so I stop off for a fountain drink
 I pretend it's a beer with a citrus after-taste
 and I wave hello to a guy I know
 but he can't recall my name
 even though he once told me I was the most
 talented person that he'd ever met
 Pedaling around
 My head's facing down
 Listening to the tires on the asphalt below
 Wondering just how hot oozing tar would have to be
 to melt them
 Just to play it safe, I steer around
 the small patches of that black, goopy stuff
 but I do enjoy a deep inhale as I roll on by
 Pedaling around
 My head's facing down
 Sweaty bangs in my eyes
 Half steering, half eating ice cream
 Half steering, half eating ice cream
