about

A ghost bike is a bike painted white and often locked to something as a memorial to a cyclist who has died on the road

lyrics

You were just headed home
Maybe a friend's?
And everyone dies alone
At the sweet end
Rolling down the street
Cloudy skies gray
Favorite song so sweet
With a slight sway

It hits you like a car
Fuckin blindside
And you can go so far
On a white bike
It puts you in a trance
Through the drizzle
You never got the chance
To burn so bright
And then fizzle (x2)

You're feeling like a ghost
Down the highway
Headed towards the coast
It's so far away
Rolling in the sun
Let it bronze your nice skin
And with your helmet on
You feel the sweet wind
Take a little break
By the river
Think now long it takes
And then you shiver
And pick yourself back up
Although its frightening
It's like the saying goes
"Just keep biking"

It hits you like a car
Fuckin blindside
And you can go so far
On a white bike
It puts you in a trance
Through the drizzle
You'll never get the chance
To burn so bright
And then fizzle (x2)

(Now I'm just a ghost
I miss the taste of toast)
(The ocean is so pretty
But man its such a pity)
(That we don't look enough)
(At all that sort of stuff)
(Ghosts going oooh)
