Dire Straits - Skateaway

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 kerbside carwl
But the rollergirl shes taking chances
They just love to see her take them all
No fears alone at night shes sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones are tight and the musics playing loud
Hellelujah here she comes queen rollerball
Enchante what can I say dont care at all
You know she used to have wait around
She used to be the lonely one
But now that she can skate around town
Shes the only one
No fears alone at night shes sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones are tight and the musics playing loud
She gets rock n roll a rock n roll station
And a rock n roll dream
Shes making movies on location
She dont know what it means
But the music make her wanna be the story
And the story was whatever was the song what it was
Rollergirl dont worry
D.j. play the movies all night long
She toutures taxi drivers just for fun
She like to read their lips
Says toro toro taxi see ya tomorrow my son
I swear she let a big truck graze her hip
She got her own world in the city
You can not intrude on her
She got her own world in the city
Cos the citys been so rude to her
Come slippin and a slidin
Lifes a rollerball
Slippin and a slidin
Skateaway thats all
Shala shalay hey hey skateaway
Shes singing shala shalay hey hey
Skateaway
