Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rollerskate skinny and the terrible two's
How can you have everything and nothing to lose?
You and nobody see eye-to-eye
You're gonna wake up with a ghost instead of a guy
[Verse 2]
Bulletin board on the wall of a church
Soakin' up the city from a top-step perch
You're gonna break down on a midnight date
You're gonna curse this town, you're gonna run late
[Verse 3]
You're pretty as a penny
Rollerskate skinny
You're pretty as a penny
Rollerskate skinny
[Verse 4]
Do you want to meet up at the Pickwood Bowl?
We could knock nine down and leave one in the hole
Wouldn't be here if the Athenia hadn't sunk
Or if dear ol' dad hadn't gotten so drunk
[Verse 5]
Every other day is a kick in the shin
Every other day, it's like the day just went
But you make 'em alright, you make 'em okay
You make me sorta glad that I waited till today
[Verse 6]
You're pretty as a penny
Rollerskate skinny
You're pretty as a penny
Rollerskate skinny
[Verse 7]
Rollerskate skinny and the terrible two's
Two years in and it's time to choose
Love feels good when it sits right down
Puts its feet up on the table and it sends a bowl around
[Verse 8]
Ain't nobody gonna see eye-to-eye
With a girl who's only gonna stand collarbone high
Rain's gonna come in fair-sized drips
We're gonna go to Heaven wearin' paper-hat ships
[Verse 9]
You're pretty as a penny
Rollerskate skinny
You're pretty as a penny
Rollerskate skinny
[Verse 10]
I believe in love, but it don't believe in
I believe in love, but it don't believe in me
I believe in love, but it don't believe in me
No, it don't believe in
Me
Don't believe in
