Free-Wheeling

Found my space to roller skate
Like I did when I was eight ...
Round, round and round the rink
Flashing lights of blue and pink 

High above such trivial things
Skating the track of Saturn's rings,
Go, go, they can't catch me now
Once you learn, you never forget how

The music flows from far, far away
Down on Earth where records play,
The stars, they pulsate to the beat
And correspond down to my feet

Bubblegum pop and all the feels
Purple shoelaces and rubber wheels, 
Rock my world, let me go back
To neon lights and skies of black

Feelin' like that long lost kid ...
Feelin' things no grownup did ...
Right foot, left foot, I got the pattern
Skating upon the rings of Saturn.
