Skateaway

I seen a girl on a one way corridor

Stealing down a wrong way street

For all the world like an urban toreador

She had wheels on, on her feet

Well, the cars do the usual dances

Same old cruise and the curbside crawl

But the roller girl, she's taking chances

They just love to see her take them all

No fear alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd

In her ears, the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud

Hallelujah, here she comes, Queen Rollerball

And enchanté, what can I say? Don't care at all

You know, she used to have to wait around

She used to be the lonely one

But now that she can skate around town

She's the only, only one

No fear alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd

In her ears, those phones are tight, and the music's playing loud

She gets rock 'n' roll, and a rock 'n' roll station

And a rock 'n' roll dream

She's making movies on location

She don't know what it means

And the music make her wanna be the story

And the story was whatever was the song, what it was

Roller girl, don't worry

DJ, play the movies

All night long, all night long

She tortures taxi drivers, just for fun

She likes to read their lips

She says, "Toro, toro, taxi, see ya tomorrow, my son"

I swear, she let a big truck graze her hip

Aw, she got her own world in the city, yeah

You can't intrude on her, no, no, no

She got her own world in the city

The city's been so rude to her

No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd

In her ears, those phones so tight, and the music's playing loud

She gets rock 'n' roll, and a rock 'n' roll station

And a rock 'n' roll dream

She's making movies on location

She don't know what it means

But the music make her wanna be the story

And the story was whatever was the song, what it was

Roller girl, don't worry

DJ, play the movies

All night long, all night long

Slippin' and a-slidin'

Yeah, life's a rollerball

Slippin' and a-slidin'

Skateaway, that's all

Skateaway

Sha-la, sha-lay, hey, hey

Skateaway

Now, sha-la, sha-lay, hey, hey

She's singing, "Sha-la, sha-lay, hey, hey"

Skateaway

Oh, sha-la, sha-lay, hey, hey
