lyrics

I just saw a fat chick
Riding on a bicycle
Pedaling in traffic
With her headphones on

She didn't care if you stare
Or if you dare to be cruel
Cuz she knew
When it's all over she was
Just a fat chick on a bicycle

I would be a liar
If I said I didn't lie
Trying to live my own life
Through someone else's eyes
But this one, she was different
As I'd like to be
All she is and isn't
She wears on her sleeve

She didn't care what you do
There's no need to be cool
Cuz she knew
When it's all over she was
Just a fat chick on a bicycle

Is it crazy I've been thinking
She might be the one for me?
Is it is crazy that I've been thinking?
But we'll never be

She cycled her way down the interstate
Singing songs from her mix tape
And laughing out loud
At the on-looking crowd
As they pointed their fingers
And shouted “Look out!”
Cuz she didn't see
The 12:43 bus
Creeping up on the blindside
Collision imminent,
She ran into it with a smile
All the while

I walked up to wreckage
And looked her in the eye
She didn't say a thing and
I knew exactly why
Now she's up in heaven
Looking down on us
She made quite an impression
On both me and that bus

She didn't care what you say
If you take her away
Cuz she knew
When it's all over she was
Just a fat chick on a bicycle
