aching for something to slow down   this desperate running out of time   where time's a wreck   falling through emotions   with too much catching up to do   please believe      me bitterness is not my only virtue   one of two   but you knew that, didn't you      there are moments of good endings   but far too few   let's take our bicycles and ride   I'm sticking with you      I've read between the lines   far too long, it's not paying off   the substance is gone   your luck came to an abrupt end   well, so did mine at the age of nine   please forgive me      bitterness is not my only virtue   one of two   but you knew that, didn't you      there are moments of good endings   but far too few   let's take our bicycles and ride   like good friends do   there are moments of good endings   but far too few   let's take our bicycles and ride   it's up to you      something was wrong at an early age   so little a creature   but consumed by uncontrollable rage      born with teeth   and a thorn in everybody's side      line 'em up and roll 'em in   everybody with a glass chin   no one's gonna run me out   but everybody ran me out      as a sucker for the D.I.Y. concept   I went to your show last night   your gang was trashing the stage   and you had the starglimpse in your eye      but I'm sad to say: your ways   will never make your records sell      they'll line you up and roll you in   everybody with a glass chin everything will run you out   and I'm a living proof of that      born with teeth   and a thorn in everybody's side      line 'em up and roll 'em in   everybody with a glass chin   no one's gonna run me out   but everybody ran me out
