Hey there Skater girl You got me all twirled up inside When you made those turns I get goosebumps When you swerve right by me I'm pretty sure it was you And not the evening chill
And yes it was late The lampposts were on And the traffic lights Out of sight Why should anyone Tell you when to stop or go You were an unchained thing You had the road all for yourself And I had that night To see you scribble in your strides
You did ballet, not on thin ice, But on rough pavements For life was not always A smooth and clear ground It can be a lonely Concrete street It can be you right now Free and astound With me in the distance
At first glance It'll seem like You're free-rolling But I know It's really art In its abstract form The solid, rigid sound of wheels Scraping ground Is tranquilizing To our left is a quiet parking lot And at the right, a multipurpose home While I'm sitting on grass In a suit
Please don't mind me And keep on skating Skater girl Doodle me a way Map me a dance With the tracks of your skates In this fast-rolling world
