Day 36 - Bicycle

There actually IS a bike just chilling in my living room. It's Tanya's, my roommates.

Verse 1 - There's a bicycle in my living room
I'm tempted to go out and ride
but this weather is not convincing 
and I don't want to go outside

Verse 2 - You're calling me with those wheels
teasing me with that body of yours
that smooth black metal with red writing
dreaming up adventures you've never been before

Chorus - Take me on a ride
through streets I've never been 
to places I've never seen
down roads that extend for hours on end 

Verse 3 - So mysterious you are
as you lean against the wall
dunno who you think you are
trying to persuade me outside 

(repeat chorus)

Verse 4 - But your tires are flat
your dreams are shattered 
you hold yourself back 
like nothing really mattered 

Don't play coy with me 
You're not a boy you see
You're a bicycle 

Between the last chorus and the 4th verse I got on the bike and rode it into the kitchen and back to the living room realizing it had a flat tire . . .
