  • My white bicycle, my white bicycle

    Riding all around the street
    Four o'clock and they're all asleep
    I'm not tired and it's so late
    Moving fast everything looks great.

    My white bicycle, my white bicycle

    See that man, he's all alone
    Looks so happy but he's far from home
    Ring my bell, smile at him
    Better kick over his garbage bin

    My white bicycle, my white bicycle

    The rain comes down but I don't care
    The wind is blowing in my hair
    Seagulls flying in the air

    My white bicycle, my white bicycle

    Policeman shouts but I don't see him
    They're one thing I don't believe in
    To find some charge but it's not leavin'

    Lift both hands, his head in disgrace
    Shines no light upon my face
    Through the darkness, we still speed
    My white bicycle and me

    My white bicycle, my white bicycle

  • G from Potomac, MdThis is about Albert Hoffman probably and that fateful day in 1942. Look up "albert hoffman" + bicycle on your favorite search engine...
  • Larry from Jackson, NjI am a big fan of Nazareth, but i hate this song.
    i see them live all the time, and they always play my white bicycle..i dont know why,,its not a jamming song, and nazareth is a jamming hard rock band.
