The Bicycle Trip

Bruce Cockburn

Drift along
Hear the gravel crackle
Butterflies
Shades of the eternal dancer
God has buttered the land with sunlight
Sunlight

Corn grows high
Like a tall watusi
Katydid
Hums a monotonous tune
Rather hypnotically
Hmm, hmm
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Hmm

Overhead, there's a parrot with boxing gloves
Singing like me
What a clever bird
Even knows the words
But he doesn't seem to see
Me
Making my great escape

You can just take so much of your own advice
Who needs a king?
Sitting in a tree
So loquaciously
Pigeonholing everything
Pigeons have a way of taking wing
'Ing, wing

Back again
Purple thistles bristle
All around
Bane of the eternal dancer
Da, hmm
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da

Home is just around the bend
The end
