Trainjuice is the vile and viscous substance that often drips on you as you pass under the elevated subway tracks in Chicago. Being bike messengers this happens frequently and is a part of daily city life. The song is a love letter to Bike messenger living and uses Trainjuice (Sikmetra being a translation of Trainjuice in Ukrainian) as a basis for the ethos of the song and what it means to deliver packages and food through the chaotic downtown streets.

Lyrics:

Party every week
Always losing sleep
Wake up and deliver for the man
All these corporate hoes
Staring at my clothes
Like I'm some sort of dirty psychopath

Broken and broke for life
Deliver food on a bike
One day I'll get hit by a fucking truck
Maybe I can collect
On that insurance check
That would really change my change my luck

Sikmetra Sikmetra

Riding under the El
Breathing in that smell
Shoving a burrito in a bag
Breaking all my bones
Just to afford a home
Maybe I'll die from a heart attack

Sikmetra Sikmetra

Party every week
Always losing sleep
Wake up and deliver for the man
All these corporate hoes
Staring at my clothes
Like I'm some sort of dirty psychopath

New York City was dripping with Trainjuice that day. Sikmetra’s first tour with our homies @cps.cps.cps was amazing, and we can’t wait to do another tour next year. See you at these shows in October!!!

5 more days of OUR FIRST TOUR! Thank you so much to @cps.cps.cps for making this a reality, so glad we met in Detroit and continued to rock together. This has been very special for us. We've never been on tour and I thought I'd (Sammy) never get to. But here we are. Already met so many great musicians and heard music that is inspiring and sick!!! See y'all in BOSTON TONIGHT!!! by @sikmetra
