lyrics

Riding at the centre of a Cheshire hurricane
Montreal bike girl with pipe cleaner braids
Is longing
As long as her striped stockings

Flying past the bistro with the spiral staircase
Past the red house with the green door and the black wrought iron gate
Through the stop sign
To a street with no awings

Rouler a Velo
Faster than Tintin
Rouler a Velo
With roses in her cheeks

Into the distance
Her dark eyes shine
Along the seaway
She flies like borrowed time

Salad greens and magazines swing softly at her hip
While mushrooms and an eggplant take the side bags for the trip to
Supper
Her heart served on a plate for another

The pedals of her bike revolve like satelites of mars
With an atmosphere of purple
Like the tumbledown scent of flowers
And sweet anticipated hours

Rouler a Velo
Faster than Tintin
Rouler a Velo
With roses in her cheeks

Into the distance
Her dark eyes shine
Along the seaway
She flies like borrowed time
