Take me out
onto the roller rink,
where, under the neon disco ball, everything turns
pink and hazy
Make me out
to be your in-line princess,
your ribbon-bred baby
Spin me 'round and 'round
drivin' me crazy crazy crazy
Bring me to my knees
sorry, you whispered to me
"oopsie-daisy"
Drop me to the floor
my crustacean legs
fold crooked underneath me like a crab
i skip back onto the tips of my toes
i cover up quick like a lady
Still, I wait patiently for more
Still, spinning under these hazy neon lights
looking for someone new again,
looking for somewhere else to score.

Spin me 'round and 'round
drivin' me crazy crazy crazy
Bring me to my knees
sorry, you whispered to me

Drop me to the floor
my crustacean legs
fold crooked underneath me like a crab
i skip back onto the tips of my toes
i cover up quick like a lady
Still, I wait patiently for more
Still, spinning under these hazy neon lights
looking for someone new again,
looking for somewhere else to score.
