Calexico Spokes Lyrics

Spokes Lyrics

Started talking

To a couple of wedded strangers

Sitting down on motorcycles

Who passed on the highway



Stepped into

The service station

Took a piss, got water

Bought fuel to ride



Blood is flowing

And mountains are blurring

There is something stirring

Way down inside



Barely know

My homebase home

Seems I'm rarely there

For any share of time



The neighborhood's the same

They all remember my name

Holding no reservations

The newness is wearing in



Checked my eyes to see if they had spokes

See if they are moving

See if they had spokes

See if there is somewhere else to ride



Barely know

My airbase home

Seems I'm rarely there

For any share of time
