Lyrics
Skateboarding
Words and Music by
Carmine Palmieri
INTRO
(spoken) Skateboarding skateboarding
Skateboarding skateboarding
VERSE 1
I skate like the devil to ease my pain
Laser flip success without a strain
Getting so high the cheers so loud
Feel the love from the crowd
Rolling higher on my board
From above blessed by the Lord
PRE CHORUS
Tem'prature rising out of control
Watch this Devil in the bowl
I feel adrenalin down my spine
Reaching stars so sublime
CHORUS
Burning rubber Scrape the rail
Flip hard flip Land on tail
Reach the sky to take my bow
Skateboarding is my vow
My hand is wrapped with blood-soaked gauze
I survive on cheers on applause
INTERLUDE
(spoken) Skateboarding skateboarding
Skateboarding skateboarding
VERSE 2
My God-like power use all my tricks
Getting higher now with all my flips
Rolling so high the still of night
I'll show them not a fight
Feel love lasting 'til I die
Hear the crowd roar with a cry
BRIDGE
Feel the wind rushing Riding on air
Show my goofy foot with a caballerial flair
PRE CHORUS
Tem'prature rising out of control
Watch this Devil in the bowl
I feel adrenalin down my spine
Reaching stars so sublime
CHORUS
Burning rubber Scrape the rail
Flip hard flip Land on tail
Reach the sky to take my bow
Skateboarding is my vow
My hand is wrapped with blood-soaked gauze
I survive on cheers on applause
INTERLUDE
(spoken) Skateboarding skateboarding
Skateboarding skateboarding
PRE CHORUS
Tem'prature rising out of control
Watch this Devil in the bowl
I feel adrenalin down my spine
Reaching stars so sublime
CHORUS
Burning rubber Scrape the rail
Flip hard flip Land on tail
Reach the sky to take my bow
Skateboarding is my vow
My hand is wrapped with blood-soaked gauze
I survive on cheers on applause
