Friday night at the scene is bright at Avalon Walked straight to the bar in her party dress, yes Told the bartender pour her a shot And make it strong Because she needed cheering up She proceeded to get drunk You could see it tearing up in her eyes But when she gets home, she puts her headphones on She plays her favorite song and fades away And when the music's on, she can do no wrong And she feels safe and calm and it's OK And she says, "ba ba dum ba dee ah dum ba Ba ba dum ba dee ah dum ba The world keeps turning, life goes on" Yeah she says, "ba ba dum ba dee ah dum ba Ba ba dum ba dee ah dum ba The world keeps turning, life goes on" Night before had a date with a boy from Highland Park Said he'd meet her at the diner at nine o'clock Leather boots, eyeliner laid on extra dark She got a table set for two But he never made it through And she tried to play it cool, as she cried But when she gets home, she puts her headphones on She plays her favorite song and fades away And when the music's on, she can do no wrong And she feels safe and calm and it's OK And she says, "ba ba dum ba dee ah dum ba Ba ba dum ba dee ah dum ba The world keeps turning, life goes on" Yeah she says, "ba ba dum ba dee ah dum ba Ba ba dum ba dee ah dum ba The world keeps turning, life goes on" You got to shake it off, shake it You got to shake it off, shake it You got to shake it off, shake it You got to shake it off
