[Verse 1: Crowing Jersey female lead, crowing, sharp on the beat] Friday at the rink with the carpet on the walls Rental skates squeaking and the smell of the halls Got my laces double knotted and my hoops on tight Gum in my cheek and my wheels painted white Lap after lap and I'm passing them all Little kids grabbing at the bumper wall Then the light goes pink and the speaker goes low And the man in the booth says, pairs, here we go [Pre-Chorus: Crowing Jersey female lead, rising, louder] Everybody holding hands, everybody in twos I'm standing at the rail in my own two shoes Rink's clearing out, and the floor's all bare Watch me, honey, I'm going out there [Chorus: Crowing Jersey female lead, belted, crowing, claps on every beat] Couples skate, and I'm skating with me Arms out wide like I'm out at sea Every pair on the rail, every eye on the wheel Couples skate, and I'm skating with me [Verse 2: Crowing Jersey female lead, crowing, strutting] Backwards on the corner with a spin on the end Hand on my hip like I'm my own boyfriend Couple from the high school tripping over their feet Married folks arguing about who was on beat I'm gliding through the middle like a cat on ice Ref with a whistle saying, ma'am, be nice I said I am nice, I'm a pair of one Read the sign, sweetheart, I ain't breaking none [Chorus: Crowing Jersey female lead, belted, crowing, claps on every beat] Couples skate, and I'm skating with me Arms out wide like I'm out at sea Every pair on the rail, every eye on the wheel Couples skate, and I'm skating with me [Bridge: Crowing Jersey female lead, strobe freeze, the strobe kicks in and the band hits one chord per flash while she spins in place] Lights go white Flash Spin Flash Whole rink stops Flash Look at me [Verse 3: Crowing Jersey female lead, the four-to-the-floor kick crashes back, crowing loud] Last call for couples and I'm rolling to the booth Man with the records and the gap in his tooth Been playing my song every Friday for a year I said leave it on repeat, honey, get down here Pulled him on the floor in his socks and his frown Record keeps spinning with nobody around Whole rink clapping and the ref can't speak Now I'm a couple, so I'll be back next week [Chorus: Crowing Jersey female lead, belted, crowing, claps on every beat] Couples skate, and I'm skating with me Arms out wide like I'm out at sea Every pair on the rail, every eye on the wheel Couples skate, and I'm skating with me [Outro: Crowing Jersey female lead, laughing, the record keeps spinning, rings out and fades] Leave it on Leave it on [End]
