late night call lets go out riding
it’s been a while take our choppers
take a good ride the long way round?
& I try to call off ‘cos I know how it’ll be
he’ll turn up on another bought ride
all chrome paint & purchased style
we’ll set off for an hour so
sign indicate stop for a smoke
hide away somewhere take a bump
come back rubbing his nose
high talking the hills the road scenery
take off high speed clutch drop squeal
& I’ll follow watching him take risks
hell we all do that as we throw a leg over
but these squeezing between cars
not stopping at junctions I’ll happily leave
an hour later we’ll stop for a smoke
tho’ he quit that years ago it’s a joke
comes back rubbing his nose
next stop for gas? then turn for home?
& we’ll stop for a coffee as he talks
some non-stop rap about the future
how anything goes making promises
he forgets about soon as he gets home
‘cos that what coke heads do
