> Said Sheldon to Molly, here's a ring for your right hand
> But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
> I've fought with the cars since I was seventeen
> I ran many a light on my fixie machine
> Now I'm 61 years, I might make 62
> And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you

> Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae
> For they've taken in Sheldon at the end of his days
> He called out for you on his long and final ride
> Oh come down Red Molly to his dying bedside
> When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
> He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
> But he smiled to see her cry
> And said I'll give you my fixie to ride

> Says Shel, in my opinion, there's nothing in this world
> Beats a fixed-gear Bianchi and a red headed girl
> Now Shimano LX or XT won't do
> They don't have a soul like a Phil Wood tightly trued
> He reached for her hand, gave her his Allen keys
> He said I've got no further use for these
> I see angels on Brooks's in spandex and chrome
> Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
> And he gave her one last kiss and died
> And he gave her his fixie to ride
