Rollerskate Skinny Lyrics

Rollerskate Skinny lyrics

Roller skate skinny and the terrible twos
How can you have everything and nothing to lose
You and nobody see eye to eye
You`re gonna wake up with a ghost instead of a guy

Bulletin board on the wall of a church
Soaking up the city from a top-step perch
You`re gonna break down on a midnight date
Gonna curse this town, you`re gonna run late

You`re pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
Pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny

Do you want to meet up at the Pickwood Bowl
We could knock nine down and leave one in the hole
Wouldn`t be here if the Athenia hadn`t sunk
Or if Dear ol Dad hadn`t got so drunk

Every other day is a kick in the shins
Every other day it`s like the day just wins
But you make it all right, you make it OK
You make me sorta glad that I waited till today

You`re pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
Pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny

(guitar break)

Roller-skate skinny and the terrible twos
Two years in and it`s time to choose
Love feels good when it sits right down, puts its feet up on the table it
Sends a bowl around

Ain`t nobody gonna see eye to eye
With a girl who`s only gonna stand collarbone high
Rain`s gonna come in fair-sized drips
And we`re gonna go to heaven wearing paper-hat ships

You`re pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny
Pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny

I believe in love, but it don`t believe in....
I believe in love, but it don`t believe in me
I believe in love, but it don`t believe in me

(repeat)
