《The Bike》歌词

[00:00:00] The Bike - Amy Correia

[00:00:14] I became the heiress to a red and rusted bicycle

[00:00:19] Built like a tank from Sears Roebuck circa 1952

[00:00:24] It had been entrusted to me by my late great uncle Pat

[00:00:29] And I guess he didn't ride it much

[00:00:32] Both tires on the bike were flat

[00:00:39] Pat had died at Christmas time in 1991

[00:00:44] He had fallen off the wagon

[00:00:47] And he sunk into a Christmas funk

[00:00:49] My father he had found him

[00:00:52] Two days after he had died

[00:00:54] Well he drank himself to death one night

[00:00:57] In a little home he owned by the seaside

[00:00:59] Well I took the bike and I cleaned it up

[00:01:02] My father he patched up the tires

[00:01:04] Am I going to town or just spinning my wheels

[00:01:07] And when I die I wonder how it feels

[00:01:10] Hey and I'm riding around riding around on it

[00:01:15] Hey just riding around riding around on it

[00:01:20] Hey you know I'm riding around

[00:01:24] Riding around on it hey

[00:01:30] The funeral service was a few days later

[00:01:32] At a place down the street from where he had lived

[00:01:35] There wasn't a hell of a turn out

[00:01:37] He had never married and he never had kids

[00:01:40] The coffin lid was open

[00:01:42] Pat was lying inside

[00:01:45] His sister had a picture of a poodle named Pepper

[00:01:47] She put it in his hand and then she cried

[00:01:55] Now I'm riding around in the city

[00:01:57] Through the smog and the summer heat

[00:02:00] And I'm blowing through all the red lights

[00:02:02] I guess you could say I'm feeling lucky

[00:02:05] And the taxis and the trucks

[00:02:07] Everybody's blowin' their horns

[00:02:10] And I got a bicycle bell to ring

[00:02:13] And I got a notion to sing as I'm riding along

[00:02:16] Hey and I'm riding around riding around on it

[00:02:21] Hey just riding around riding around on it

[00:02:26] Hey you know I'm riding around

[00:02:29] Riding around on it hey

[00:02:36] Tudududududu

[00:02:38] Tudududududu tudududududu tudududududu

[00:02:43] Tudududududu tudududududu tudududududu

[00:02:48] Tududududu tudutudu

[00:02:52] Well I didn't even really know him at all

[00:02:56] And I wonder can he see me

[00:03:00] As I'm riding along

[00:03:03] Riding along hey

[00:03:16] The day that Pat was buried

[00:03:18] The air was cold and clear

[00:03:21] And we drove out to the cemetery

[00:03:24] And snow flew around in the air

[00:03:26] And a hired man from the State

[00:03:28] He played taps on a coronet

[00:03:31] And a flag was presented to his sister

[00:03:34] For time in the service that Pat had spent

[00:03:36] When he used to ride on the bike

[00:03:38] Way back in 52

[00:03:41] He was starting out a life

[00:03:43] And the bike it was brand new

[00:03:46] And life was laid before him like

[00:03:49] A platter before a king

[00:03:51] He was young and he was handsome

[00:03:54] And the world was alive with meaning hey hey

[00:03:59] And the world was alive with meaning hey

[00:04:04] And I'm riding around riding around on it hey

[00:04:09] Just riding around riding around on it hey

[00:04:14] You know I'm riding around

[00:04:15] Riding around on it hey

[00:04:19] Just riding around riding around on it

[00:04:22] Hey I'm riding around

[00:04:25] Riding around on it
