lyrics

Like an acrobat on the flying trapeze, that's the way the cyclist was. Dying of thirst and chugging her knees, that's the way the cyclist rode. And she loved her and couldn't help but thinking: “If she was off by an inch, it would all be done.” Come on Ellice, pedal the pedals! Cross the finish for the gold medal. Your legs move like a machine: “Stay safe. Godspeed, my sweet.” And she loved her and couldn't help but thinking: “I ride this race for you. You know I do.” I pedal my bike above the road. I watch you ride from the sidelines. I see your face. And I see you glide. I'll see you at the finish line
