Skateaway
Dire Straits
Intro: - (4x) 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 The cars do the usual dances Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl But the Rollergirl she’s taking chances Just love to see her take them all Chorus 1: No fears alone at night 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 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 Chorus 1: No fears alone at night Sailing through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight And the music’s playing loud Chorus 2: She gets rock n roll on 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 maker wanna be the story And the story was whatever was the song what it was Rollergirl don’t worry D.J. 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 ya tomorrow my son" She just let a big truck grease her hip ah! She got her own world in the city hey 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 Chorus 1: No fears alone at night Sailing through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight And the music’s playing loud Chorus 2: She gets rock n roll on 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 maker wanna be the story And the story was whatever was the song what it was Rollergirl don’t worry D.J. play the movies all night long all night long OUTRO: Slippin’ and a-slidin’ Yeah life’s a rollerball Slippin’ and a-slidin’ Skateaway that’s all Skateaway Shala shalay hey hey She’s singin’ Shala shalay hey hey (## repeat and fade ##)
