Michael had these lyrics fully formed. He was really into the expression “heavy and rolling” that NYC hire car drivers use to signify to the base that they have their passengers and are on the job.

[Verse 1: Andrew Wyatt]
Start up the engine, we're heavy and rolling
Tankful of gas and the night is young
Don't know you
Don't care where you’re going
To the Highline or the heart of the sun
My sweet companion is long as the summer
Black as the river and built to glide
Smooth as glass
Smooth as Marcus Miller
Cold as ice when you climb inside
[Chorus: Andrew Wyatt]
When the city's flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Ridin' straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling
[Verse 2: Andrew Wyatt]
You deal in ducats, you deal in illusion
Pay for pleasure with your pretty face
You confuse
War and prostitution
In my starship I sail freely through space
[Chorus: Andrew Wyatt]
When the city's flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Ridin' straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling
[Verse 3: Andrew Wyatt]
I was lost and lonely like you
Hollow-eyed and broken inside
Then I found something lasting and true
A beautiful ride
Might have to wait to start in on your drinking
All of Hell’s Kitchen’s standing in that line
I’ll be here
Living in my Lincoln
Occupying space and conquering time
[Chorus: Andrew Wyatt]
When the city's flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Ridin' straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling
