Suicidal Tendencies
Possessed to Skate
[Intro]
Let's skate!
[Verse 1]
Seemed like such an innocent toy
He was the All-American boy
Got a skate at eight years old
Now the story can be told
[Refrain]
Beware he's possessed to skate!
[Verse 2]
Skating takes him up in height
He's a pilot on a modern flight
See him flying through the air
If he don't land then he don't care
[Chorus]
Cause he rips - he rips
When he skates - he skates
Cause he never hesitates
He's the wizard on the wheels
Like a modern gladiator ain't got no fears
So skate
[Verse 3]
He shoots the pool like a launching pad
If it ain't insane then you can't get rad
Skating is all that's on his mind
He's skating radical all the time
[Chorus]
Cause he rips - he rips
When he skates - he skates
Cause he never hesitates
He's the wizard on the wheels
Like a modern gladiator ain't got no fears
So skate
[Refrain]
Beware he's possessed to skate!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Looks like a magic carpet ride
Six foot aerial inverts backside
Optical illusion it must be
He redefines insanity
[Chorus]
Cause he rips - he rips
When he skates - he skates
Cause he never hesitates
He's the wizard on the wheels
Like a modern gladiator ain't got no fears
So skate
[Verse 5]
Doesn't understand why you'd wanna walk
Ain't got time to sit and talk
Used to be just like you and me
Now he's an outcast of society
[Refrain]
Beware he's possessed to skate!
[Outro]
And the skating's getting radical
