Pretty girls on roller skates
Pretty boys on roller skates
Roach clip feathers in her hair
She will take him anywhere
Holding hands at couple skate
Their parents let them stay out late
Playing pinball, trading smiles
They skate in circles, miles and miles
Red light, green light
High heeled shoes and skin tight jeans
Killed her soft romantic dreams
Track marks creep along her skin
It's getting much too late to win
Yesterday was kick the can
Today is the pusher man
Mainline in the van next door
Nodding on the dirty floor
Round and round and round she goes
Where she'll stop nobody knows
Red light, green light
Pretty girls on roller skates
Pretty boys on roller skates
Roach clip feathers in her hair
Her roller skates got lost somewhere
The pretty boys all stop to stare
The roach clip's gone and burned her hair
She hides her face and starts to cry
The roller skating girls walk by
Round and round and round she goes
Where she'll stop nobody knows
Red light, green light
