   I seen a girl on a one-way corridor 
C             D               G  C6   G  
   Stealing down a wrong way street  
D                            G     C  
   For all the world like an urban toreador  
               D         G C          
   She had the wheels on - on her feet  
G       D                     C  
   Well the cars do the usual dances  
D                          G        C6  
   Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl  
G  D                        G      C  
   But the rollergirl she's taking chances
