And roll, roll, may nothing ever stop you
And crumble, crumble, often under love and its debts
My soul envies you, but my heart holds me back
’Cause soon someone stronger than you will join the party
The wheel turns and if one of you falls
The other rolls on or collapses with them
Yet off to a pretty good start
Both of you on a roll
Soul in pain pedaling for two
Yet off to a pretty good start
The two of you on the plain
You roll and roll and sometimes your eyes go searching
Over your shoulder hoping they'll spot a head there
Your back's bored of watching armies of daisies zip past
And cries at having nobody to chat with
The other fell but there you go, you clear the slope
Get to the top of the climb, you'll see the descent
Yet off to a pretty good start
Both of you on a roll
Soul in pain pedaling for two
Yet off to a pretty good start
The two of you on the plain
And you roll like a martyr singing at the top of your lungs
That everything's just fine but I see your legs
Looking for someone to play footsie with
So roam around and find yourself an athlete
To keep riding two-up on your tandem
’Cause two on a tandem is better for moving forward
It's better for moving forward
Yet off to a pretty good start
Both of you on a roll
Soul in pain pedaling for two
Yet off to a pretty good start
The two of you on the plain
