King of the Silver Medal

'cause I'm the king of the silver medal no matter how fast I pedal Travelling at the speed of my own thoughts thinking about the races that I've lost over mountains and the pouring rains through the valleys and the alleys of the fruited plains because I'm the king of the silver medal no matter how fast I pedal Samples of my blood have all been screened I've won nothing but I'm always clean I will get the gold eventually but until I win a race, this is what I'll be: 'cause I'm the king of the silver medal no matter how fast I pedal Cycles come and cycles always go I'm a cyclist and this is what I know the Tour de France is calling out my name and I will scandalize them all by stepping up my game 'cause I'm the king of the silver medal no matter how fast I pedal
