They Fell From Grace

He earned his reputation in the hills of France
Won 7 times in his tight black pants
From the hills of France to his war on cancer
Met Sheryl Crow and began to romance her.
but he fell from grace
joined the human race
Seems his tour winning zip
Came from an IV drip
He was a New York Attorney fighting organized crime
Made a name by prosecuting securities slime
Got elected attorney general, but he couldn’t wait
To become the governor of the empire state.
But he fell from grace
Joined the human race
Soothed the wounds from political wars
with high priced whores.
Well, I’m a really swell guy, just the nicest fellow
I’m the reason all your kids are eating so much Jello
Hey hey hey, fat Albert am I
But, before that I was the star of I spy
But, I fell from grace
Joined the human race
To my bed the ladies went
But without their consent

Wake up Get out of bed
Wake up Get out of bed
It’s time to rise open your eyes wake up (
Suit up The sun is low
Suit up, The sun is low
Put on your shoes, no time to lose suit up
We ride A peloton
We ride A peloton
It’s no big deal just grab a wheel we ride.
Blue Skies The air is cool
Blue Skies The air is cool
A steady pace, wind in our face blue skies
Gear down ( A hill to climb
Gear down A hill to climb
Don’t ever stop before the top gear down.
Wake up Get out of bed
Wake up Get out of bed
it’s time to rise open your eyes wake up

Stuck in the Autobus

Hey Erik Zabel, you’re beginning to wobble, but the summit’s just 10K away
Cavendish the Manx is giving his thanks that the Peloton is slower today
Tyler Ferrer I know you don’t care cause a stage win is out of your reach
And Marcel Kittel in his own private hell is dreaming that he’s on the beach
Verse 2
Alexander Kristoff, no need to be pissed off I’ve got lots of water to share (dare,
I could certainly go for a pineapple luna bar that’s a trade that I wouldn’t call unfair
Yeah, I know it for certain, your hamstrings are hurting, and you’re thinking of calling it quits.
But, hang in there buddy, though you’re bruised and your bloody and you’re achin up to your armpits.
Bridge:
(And we’re all) stuck in the autobus on the hill climb
(Yesterday was a flat stage, but) now we’re fighting the hills
(We haven’t) been at the front since the last prime.
My body is sore from my ankles (up to my gills)
Verse 3
On the col de la Madeleine, Where it’s steep and alpine my buddies and I plug away.
As we spin in our low gear, we’re nagged by the real fear of elimination today.
When the hills flatten out we forget all our doubt and once again come to the fore (more, in store, whore, gore, poor, pour, floor, ignore,
All the light weights will weed out while we line up our lead out with power you cannot ignore
In the meantime we’re Stuck in the autobus of the hill climb

What was I doing what did I done, I said good bye to my pretty little one
Cause the grass looked a little bit greener on the other side
What was I thinking what did I thunk, I must have been drinking I must have been drunk
‘cause the grass was a little bit greener on the other side
Bridge:
Why is it a tight red dress bout drives me silly
‘Stead a using my brain I went and used my willy
What did I see in that pretty little dress
That’s turned my life into a pretty little mess
Cause the grass looked a little bit greener on the other side
Bridge:
When I realized this was just some cheap romance
I asked my darling to give me just one more chance
Well, I learned my lesson and I learned it well
Will I do it again, only time will tell.
Cause the grass looks a little bit greener
You’d do the same if you had seen her
Cause the grass looked a little bit greener on the other side

I've Lived a Hard Life

I’ve got all my fingers and all 10 toes Yes, I’m a healthy man
My LDL is under 75 yes I’m fit and I’m trim and I’m tanned
When I was a kid we had plenty to eat And my momma treated me right
I grew up on the right side of the tracks I got 8 hours of sleep every night
But, I’ve lived a hard life, a real hard life.
I may have all the comforts a man can desire, but I’ve suffered more than my share of strife…a real hard life
I fell in love with the girl of my dreams
And that girl loved me right back
She had an IQ well over 155 and wasn’t half bad in the sack
I got A’s in every subject. Lettered on the football team
Went to College on a scholarship, but things weren’t as good as they seem.
Cause I’ve had some bad days, some real bad days
Why just last week I bought a 10 pound duck and damned if that bird wouldn’t braise.
I’ve got a ‘62 Cobra, with real wire wheels, you know that’s one sweet ride
I’ve got a 4-car garage attached to the house, but the jag has to park outside.
I’m in an R and B band called the Pelotones we play at all the local hot spots
We get invited to all the fingerakes vineyards, the soirees the parties and yauchts.
But I’ve had some sad years, some real sad years
When they told me my portfolio was down 30 points I had to fight to hold back the tears .
But I’ve had some tough times, some real tough times.
When I was writing this song, I found it hard to admit, I’d finally run out of rhymes.
