i seen a girl on a oneway corridor
stealing down a wrongway 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 crawl
but the rollergirl she’s taking chances
they just love to see her take them all
pre
no fears 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
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 one
pre
no fears alone at night she’s sailing through the crowd
in her ears the phones are tight and the music’s playing loud
she gets rock and roll and a rock and roll station
and a rock and roll dream
she’s making movies on location
she don’t know what it means
and the music make her want to 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 all night long
she tortures taxi drivers just for fun
she like to read their lips
says toro toro taxi see you tomorrow my son
i swear she let a big truck grease her hip
she got her own world in the city
you can’t intrude on her no no no
she got her own world in the city
because the city’s been so rude to her
pre
no fears alone at night she’s sailing through the crowd
in her ears the phones are tight and the music’s playing loud
she gets rock and roll and a rock and roll station
and a rock and roll dream
she’s making movies on location
she don’t know what it means
but the music make her want to 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 all night long
come slipping and sliding
yeah life’s a roller ball
slipping and asliding
skateaway that’s all
skateaway
shala shalay hey hey skateaway
now shala shalay hey hey skateaway
she’s singing shala shalay hey hey
skateaway
shala shalay
