Old 97's - Rollerskate Skinny Lyrics
Roller skate skinny and the terrible twosHow can you have everything and nothing to loseYou and nobody see eye to eyeYou're gonna wake up with a ghost instead of a guyBulletin board on the wall of a churchSoaking up the city from a top-step perchYou're gonna break down on a midnight dateGonna curse this town, you're gonna run lateYou're pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinnyPretty as a penny, roller-skate skinnyDo you want to meet up at the pickwood bowlWe could knock nine down and leave one in the holeWouldn't be here if the athenia hadn't sunkOr if dear ol dad hadn't got so drunkEvery other day is a kick in the shinsEvery other day it's like the day just winsBut you make it all right, you make it okYou make me sorta glad that i waited till todayYou're pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinnyPretty as a penny, roller-skate skinny(guitar break)Roller-skate skinny and the terrible twosTwo years in and it's time to chooseLove feels good when it sits right down, puts its feet up on the table itSends a bowl aroundAin't nobody gonna see eye to eyeWith a girl who's only gonna stand collarbone highRain's gonna come in fair-sized dripsAnd we're gonna go to heaven wearing paper-hat shipsYou're pretty as a penny, roller-skate skinnyPretty as a penny, roller-skate skinnyI believe in love, but it don't believe in....I believe in love, but it don't believe in meI believe in love, but it don't believe in me(repeat)
