Walking in my running shoes
arms flailing on a winter beach
the calmness of the off season

dog is freaking out of reach
unleashed insanity
with ears all a flappin'

disregard for the uptight runner
with tongues and lips all a smackin'


*I like this place
But I have to Leave
much better than reality


pretend the movie Rollerball
as I blade top speed down the boardwalk

zinging by all the blue hair
as I skate the races in my thoughts
hopping cracks and dodging sand drifts

with only a timely precision
my mind is clear as a race car driver
I cannot afford a poor decision


*chorus


wet suit, booties, glove and a hood
a chill bites into me just watching
freezing water as it should

no fear just balls
then no stopping
dropping in on a big chilly wall

spectators with the metal detectors
pedaling a low ride cruiser
with a rear view mirror and a red reflector


*chorus


Virginia Beach, yep
Virginia Beach
Vabeeotchay
