Dan Bull - Handlebars, Brakes, Wheels and Gears lyrics

Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here, yeah

Just you and your bike
You can do what you like
Free as the dreams where you fly
From your room in the night
And in two minutes time
You'll be due to arrive
At the finish line, winning pride
Kudos and prizes
The wide world's full of surprises
If you keep them peeled
Look behind leaves and trees
Secrets will be revealed
Roaming 'round in the lonely mountains
Rolling down dirt roads and counting
Sick of the rat race and all the shouting
You gotta graft in this place
To pull the crowds in
Read all about it, paperboy
Leave all the doubters making noise
See scorn and frown on their face, annoyed
That their hypotheses are blatantly destroyed
By the ferocity of you and your velocipede
For conquering what they believed impossibly
Too tough to beat

Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here, yeah

Take an outing to the range of mountains here
Let the bounty of nature surround your ears
Listen out and you're bound to hear
The different sounds that abound
From afar and near

Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It's all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels, and gears
It's all downhill from here, yeah

Smash glass ceilings, break down doors
That's that feeling in the great outdoors
No walls, no school for the term
No rules, no cause for concern
It doesn't matter how often you fail
Just get back in the saddle
And follow the trail (Keep going)
Your former self's always hot on your tail
If you keep him in your
Rearview you're gonna prevail
You're gonna fall off
You're gonna graze knees
You're gonna train 'til your joints
Ache and they seize
To make mistakes is a humanness
So you can take them as painful or humorous
Take your talent, put it to the test
Whether you trained to make it
Or you're truly blessed
Really all that you can do is do your best
And let gravity do the rest

Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here, yeah

Take an outing to the range of mountains here
Let the bounty of nature surround your ears
Listen out and you're bound to hear
The different sounds that abound
From afar and near

Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here, yeah
Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here
Handlebars, brakes, wheels and gears
It's all downhill from here, yeah
