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 curbside crawl
But the roller girl she's taking chances
They just love to see her take them all

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 roller ball
And 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, only one

No fear 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 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 make her want to be the story
And the story was whatever was the song what it was
Roller girl, don't worry
DJ, play the movies
All night long (all night long)

She tortures taxi drivers just for fun
She likes to read their lips
Says, "Toro toro taxi, see ya 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-no
She got her own world in the city
The city's been so rude to her

No fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones so tight and the music's playing loud

She gets rock n roll, and 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 make her want to be the story
And the story was whatever was the song what it was
Roller girl don't worry
DJ play the movies
All night long (all night long)

Slipping and sliding
Yeah, life's roller ball
Slipping and a sliding
Skate away, that's all

Skate away
Skate away
She's going singing, "Shala shalay, hey hey"
