Geeks On Bikes - 3 Minute Hero

fat man slouched over the bench laughs at my transportation 
every time i drive by him he fills with jubilation 
he's laughing at my tires he's laughing at my horn 
and the cards in my spokes 
if i had time i'd tell him my story so he knows i'm not a hoax 
like this: 
my car is shot it hasn't moved an inch since 1995 
so my friends and i did not have much you could 
call a social life 
we got sick of walking, sick of hitching, sick of taking hikes 
so we didn't buy a car or a minivan -- we all bought bikes 
geeks on bikes, geeks on bikes (ad nauseum) 
i'm up at dawn to call my friends to relay the day's big plans 
& before you know it our helmets are on 
our gloves are on our hands 
we drive down main to the dairy queen -- always in single file 
and the fun piles up behind us yeah -- mile after mile 
[chorus] 
i always drive my bike safely with mirrors 
and when it's dirty i was it with tears
