From the recording Forward Nocturnal Imagination
I've always wanted a motorcycle! In 2001 I went through a program and learned to ride and received my license. For many reasons it never came to be for me to actually own a bike, but it was fun to explore the passion and excitement in this piece of music.
It was originally intended to be on the previous album "The Last Night On Planet Earth". But I remember not agreeing with the production work at the time. Felt like it wasn't strong enough at that moment. Sometimes songs need time to take shape, this was one of those times.
~Enjoy!

Lyrics
With the sunset in my eyes and the grease in my hair.
My baby wrapped around me flying to nowhere.
The smell of gasoline. Engine rumbling below.
Can barely feel my fingers, wind through my soul.
Motorcycle flying yeah only in my dreams.
Screaming through the desert like a tidal wave at sea.
3000 miles of highway my hearts on the go.
The moon is rising slowly night begins to unfold.
Set up camp for the night. Fire burning brightly.
Raining down them stars tonight. Alright.
Motorcycle flying yeah only in my dreams.
Screaming through the desert like a tidal wave at sea.
Got those Motorcycle Blues.
Just bought me a new pair of boots too.
Was gonna get me a new tattoo.
But I got those Motorcycle Blues.
