Lyrics:
[Verse 1] 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 crawl But the rollergirl, she's taking chances They just love to see her take them all [Pre-Chorus] No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd In her ears, the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud [Verse 2] 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-Chorus] No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd In her ears, the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud [Chorus] 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 D.J. play the movies all night long, all night long [Verse 3] 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-Chorus] No fears alone at night, she's sailing through the crowd In her ears, the phones are tight, and the music's playing loud [Chorus] 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 D.J. play the movies all night long, all night long [Outro] Come slipping and sliding Yeah, life's a roller ball Slipping and a-sliding 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
