Skateaway lyrics Artist (band): dire straits
I seen a girl on a one-way corridor Stealin' down a wrong-way street For all the world like an urban toreador She had wheels on her feet - on her feet Well the cars do the usual dances Same old cruise and the curbside crawl But the rollergirl - she's takin' chances Just love to see her take them on
No fears, alone at night - she's sailing through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playin' loud
Hallelujah - here she comes - queen roller ball Enchante - what can I say? carry on You know she used to have to wait around She used to be the lonely one But now that she been skatin' around town She's the only one
No fears, alone at night - she's sailing through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playin' loud
She gets rock n roll, from the rock n roll station In 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 Rollergirl - don't worry Dj play the movies - all night long
She tortures taxi drivers just for fun She like to read their lips Says: "toro, toro, taxi - see 'ya tomorrow my son - " She just let a big truck graze her hip She got her own world in the city - yeah! Ain't that true - lord I know - She got her own world in the city The city's bein' so... rude to her
Slippin' and a-slidin' Yeah, life's a roller ball Slippin' and a-slidin' Skateaway - that's all Skateaway Shala shalay, hey hey, skateaway She's singin' shala shalay, hey hey Skateaway
