Skateaway Lyrics - Making Movies - Dire Straits

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 fear 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 rollerball 

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 those phones are 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 

And the music make her wanna be the story 

And the story was whatever was the song, what it was 

Roller girl, don't worry 

D.J. play the movies 

All night long, all night long 

Photos 

She tortures taxi drivers just for fun 

She likes to read their lips 

She says, "toro, toro, taxi, see ya tomorrow, my son" 

I swear, she let a big truck graze her hip 

Aw, she got her own world in the city, yeah 

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 those 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 wanna be the story 

And the story was whatever was the song, what it was 

Roller girl, don't worry 

D.J. play the movies 

All night long, all night long 

Slippin' and a-slidin' 

Yeah, life's a rollerball 

Slippin' and a-slidin' 

Skateaway, that's all 

Skateaway 

Sha-la sha-lay, hey, hey 

Skateaway 

Now, sha-la sha-lay, hey, hey 

She's singing sha-la sha-lay, hey, hey 

Skateaway 

Oh, sha-la sha-lay, hey, hey
